according to [1] it does contain vitamin A. a fair bit, in fact. I added the link to the page for those who want to verify the info somewhere else. I also pointed out that this is apparently a natural (non GM) hybrid. I used one and the same source for both of these things, someone may want to verify it elsewhere. driggers 04:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

• Nutrition

I think the nutritional content of broccolini needs a slight alteration. As is, it is misleading because broccolini does not contain vitamin A as true vitamin A is only found in animal fats. What broccolini would have is carotenes.

There is no such thing as "true" vitamin A. Vitamin A is a collection of related biochemical compounds, as are many other vitamins. --EncycloPetey 22:59, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
