Field Notes

Description:

Broccoli is quite pretty when you let it go to flower. I like to let this happen to teach my students that they are eating flower buds when they eat broccoli.

Notes:

A high intake of broccoli has been found to reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer.Broccoli consumption has also been shown to be beneficial in the prevention of heart disease. Broccoli consumption is also associated with malodorous flatulence, from metabolism of the sulfur-containing compounds it contains. Wikipedia
