Description

Broccoli originates from Italy, as you might have guessed from the sound of its name! It is from the cabbage family and forms its head at the top of the plant’s stalk which if left alone will blossom into a bunch of tiny tightly formed yellow flowers. But instead this crown gets whacked and packed off to us and so here we have it. Science has proved how good this vegetable is for us, one of the best green vegetables we can eat to keep us healthy.

A SUPERFOOD!
