Etymology

The word 'broccoli' comes from the Italian 'broccolo', which means the flowering top of a cabbage. It is a diminutive form of 'brocco', which means 'small nail' or 'sprout'. Broccoli was developed from wild cabbage grown in the Mediterranean, and it gained popularity in Italy during the 16th century. By the 18th century, it was introduced to England, and soon after, it became popular in the United States. The vegetable is particularly appreciated for its nutritional value and versatility in cooking. Over time, various cultivars of broccoli have been developed, including Calabrese and Sprouting broccoli, to cater to different tastes and cooking methods.
