Broccoli is a vegetable that is categorized in the subgroup dark green vegetables. It’s a member of the cabbage family and its name is derived from the Italian word “broccolo,” meaning the flowering top of a cabbage.

Records from about 2000 years ago indicate that the broccoli originates from Italy, from the city Calabria. This has not been entirely proven but where ever it comes from it’s an amazing veggie.

Our most common broccoli that we cultivate today is the Calabrese broccoli, which is named after the city.Broccoli is rich in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Raw broccoli has emerged as one of the healthiest foods. Like cauliflower and cabbage, it’s low in calories and provides a lot of nutrition per serving.
