Origin
Broccoli is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region, specifically in Italy. It is a member of the cabbage family and has been cultivated for thousands of years. The word \"broccoli\" itself is derived from the Italian word \"broccolo,\" which means \"cabbage sprout.\" Over time, broccoli spread to other parts of Europe, including France and England. It was introduced to the United States by Italian immigrants in the early 20th century. Today, broccoli is grown in many countries around the world, including the United States, China, India, Mexico, and Spain. Prepared broccoli florets are typically harvested, cleaned, and trimmed before being packaged and made available for consumption.
