Wikipedia
Broccoli (from the Italian plural of ''broccolo'', referring to "the flowering top of a cabbage") is a plant of the cabbage family Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae). It is classified as a cultivar group of the species ''Brassica oleracea''. Broccoli possesses abundant arboreal, flower heads, usually green in color, arranged in a tree-like fashion on branches sprouting from a thick, edible, sturdy stalk. The mass of flower heads is surrounded by lavish leaves. Broccoli most closely resembles cauliflower, which is a different cultivar group of the same species, but broccoli is green while cauliflower can appear in purple and yellow in addition to the traditional white variety.
