Broccoli


Overview
Broccoli is said to have originated in the Mediterranean where it can still be seen today, growing wild along the Mediterranean coast. Broccoli is a fairly new crop to the United States. The seeds that sprouted the U.S. industry came from Italy and were planted in 1923 in California (ERS). Today, broccoli is grown in nearly every state, though California remains the major producer.  November 2009 ... Broccoli
