Believed to be first discovered in the Mediterranean region, Italy respectively, the broccoli has a thick green stalk, or stem, which gives rise to thick, leathery, oblong leaves which are gray-blue to green in color. The name “broccoli” comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means "the flowering crest of a cabbage", referring to the plant’s leaves.
Every part of Broccoli is edible when cooked properly, even the stem. Broccoli’s flavor can be described as mild and earthy with a crunchy texture. Like the bright green color of its leaves, the plant also tastes a bit grassy and slightly bitter due to the amount of bitter compound the plant contains.
