Broccoli

Broccoli originates from Italy, but it's very easy to grow in our colder climate. It's a very delicious and healthy vegetable. It needs a lot of manure, like all cabbage varieties. You can cook, stir-fry, steam and roast broccoli. You can also eat this vegetable raw with some dip. Even the stem is edible, when you remove the hard and fibrous peel. The leaves of broccoli are eaten in some parts of Italy.
