Origin and History of Broccoli.: Broccoli is a form of cabbage, the Brassica oleracea capitata DC., or Brassica oleracea conica (H), of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family. It is a fast-growing, upright, branched, annual plant, 60-90 cm tall that is prized for its top crowns of tender, edible, green flower buds. Its thick, green stalks are edible too.
