where does brocolli come from?

Answer 1

BROCOLLI Plant (Brassica oleracea, Botrytis group) closely related to cabbage in the mustard family. A fast-growing, upright, branched, annual plant, it bears dense green clusters of edible flower buds. Native to the eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor, it was introduced to the U.S. probably in colonial times. Broccoli thrives in moderate to cool climates. Its flavour resembles that of cabbage but is somewhat milder. It is one of the most broadly nutritious of all common vegetables.

Origin of the word Brocolli - Italian, pl. of broccolo, flowering sprout of a turnip, from Vulgar Latin *brocca, spike. See brocade.-
