Broccolo Raab/Rapini?

Someone posed this question in another group that I am in, they had picked up some Broccoli Raab at the farmers market and wondered if it would be good for their tortoise and RES. Anyone know? I cant find any reference to it on any of the edible plants lists anywhere. It is supposed to be high in Vit A, C, calcium and iron.

It's fine to feed once in a while as part of a varied diet. It's high in oaxilic acid, so shouldn't be fed all the time.
