Broccoli is a plant from the species: Brassica oleracea. It is a vegetable similar to cauliflower and cabbage. Broccoli has green flower heads and a stalk. It comes from Italy[1] and was introduced to England and the United States around 1800, and 1900,[2][3] and has become a well-liked food around the world. Purple cauliflower (violet cauliflower) is also a type of broccoli grown in North America and Europe.[4]
Broccoli is a good source of vitamins.[5] Its carbohydrates are mostly fibre and a variety of sugars.[6] Broccoli has many vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, potassium, folic acid, and iron.[7] When it is not harvested in the right time, it will turn into a head of yellow flowers.[3] Spain, Mexico, India, China, and the United States are the largest producers of broccoli.[8]
It is native to the Mediterranean. The plant was from a cabbage by a Mediterranean civilization called Etruscan. Broccoli’s name comes from the word "broccolo" in Italian language[9] and the Latin word "brachium".[10] It was developed from multiple crossbreeding.[11]
