I’m Captain Broccoli and I come from the cruciferous clan. The flower petals on cruciferous vegetables look like a cross. I’m a cousin to cabbage and cauliflower, and I grow in many parts of Texas. I really prefer cool weather, and hate hot weather. I am often boiled, roasted or steamed, but can also be eaten raw. My head is made up of tiny flower buds. If you don’t pick me early enough, my head turns into a bunch of yellow flowers.
Fun
I am filled with a lot of healthy vitamins and minerals, like vitamins A, C, K, calcium, and potassium, which provide the body with strength and help fight diseases.
