Broccoli is often nicknamed to its light green stalk and tightly clustered, dark green flowering head. Gray-green leaves that surround it as it grows are likewise tasty but are frequently removed before being sold commercially. It is thought that the vegetable's name, broccoli, came from there. The inexpensive vegetable only has to be washed and trimmed, and you can slice, chop, or leave it whole.
