Broccoli is a green, cruciferous vegetable that belongs to the Brassica family, which also includes cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts. It has a thick, edible stalk topped with a dense cluster of flower buds, often referred to as the “crown.” The buds are typically dark green, sometimes with a hint of purple, and form a tree-like shape.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Scientific name: Brassica oleracea (Italica group)
Taste: Mild, slightly bitter or earthy when raw; becomes sweeter and more tender when cooked
Texture: Firm and crunchy when raw; softens when steamed, boiled, or roasted
Nutritional value: High in vitamins C and K, fiber, folate, and antioxidants; low in calories
Culinary uses: Eaten raw in salads or with dips, steamed, stir-fried, roasted, or blended into soups and sauces

Broccoli is widely valued for its health benefits and is considered a nutrient-dense food that supports immune function, digestion, and cardiovascular health.
