Did you know that broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and Chinese kale are all different breeds of the same plant?
This plant is ‘Brassica oleracea’ and in its uncultivated form it is known as wild mustard and it is rich in essential nutrients including vitamin C.
Its history as a domesticated plant is not clear before Greek and Roman times, when it was a well-established garden vegetable.
Got anything to add?
