In the northern Mediterranean, landrace Brassica crops were bred beginning in the sixth century BC, giving rise to broccoli. Originating from simple Roman cultivars, broccoli was probably artificially selected to become better in Sicily or the southern Italian Peninsula.

Despite being a staple meal since the Roman Empire, broccoli didn't become well-known in America until the 1920s, when Italian immigrants brought it here.

The plant originated from a cabbage used by the Etruscan culture, a Mediterranean society. The Italian word "broccolo" and the Latin word "brachium" are the sources of the name broccoli. It was created via several crossbreedings.

How to eat BROCCOLIs…?
          1. Consuming a range of raw and cooked broccoli is recommended. Add some chopped raw broccoli florets to tossed salads to make them more appealing, or just eat raw broccoli for a healthy, crunchy snack.

           2. Steamed broccoli has a distinct crisp-tender texture, but boiled broccoli is frequently mushy. Furthermore, some of the nutrients in broccoli leak into the boiling water when it is boiled. Broccoli that has been boiled can still be healthy and helpful.

One to one and a half cups of raw broccoli should be consumed each day. This quantity gives your system a healthy mix of fiber and nutrients without being too much.
