Broccoli
Vegetable
Broccoli is quite an interesting vegetable. This popular green plant is actually a member of the cabbage family. The word “Broccoli” is derived from the Italian word “broccolo”, which refers to the flowering top of a cabbage. The Broccoli traces its origins back to Italy. Immigrants from south Italy introduced this vegetable to the United States, where it achieved its fame in the 1920’s.
