Native to the eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor, broccoli are members of the cabbage family and are known for their artistic look. The flowering head of a broccoli is 10 to 20 centimeters in diameter and is attached to a pale green fibrous stalk. The flower head appears green; however, sometimes the it seems to be flushed with a dark purple tinge. The head remains covered with large leathery, dark green leaves which are edible too. Broccoli develops a soft, semi-crunchy consistency and has vegetal, herbaceous, and earthy flavors with grassy, bittersweet nuances.
