Dear Jamie-
Talk about Hashgacha– I was served braised brocolli rabe in Corvallis OR last evening for the first time in my life!
I had the rabe checked for thrips (as the stems were obviously clean), and wondered if you had heard anything about the infestation status of this part of the vegetable? I loved it, and would eat it regularly. For the diabetic, its got great phytonutriants to substitute for fruits . . .
I will also check with my collegues at the OU and Rabbi Gissinger from Lakewood and get back to you.
Just a quick note: when there is only one step to a recipe, don’t use any numbers–the rule is that you can’t divide something into 1 part.
