So, I ordered some Chinese food tonight (and for what it’s worth, it was delicious!). Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, General Tso Chicken, Hot & Sour Soup, and some Veggie Lo Mein. The Lo Mein, of course, had Broccoli in it (one of my favourites!) and I began to wonder how Broccoli grows. I mean, it’s a veggie, so it obviously grows in the ground - but as a bush? a tree? a vine? in the ground like carrots? A quick google later, and I had my answer:
"broccoli grows not on a tree, not a bush, but it is it's own plant"
(Thanks, Wiki Answers :)
Apparently, bunnies also love Broccoli as much as me:
Yummy!
Yummy!
The most interesting thing I learned however, had to be that the weird purple Broccoli actually grows that way. No, seriously:
I think the only veggie I like that's purple is eggplant.

How bizarre! It’s called “Purple Sprouting Broccoli”, and as you can see in the picture… just the top end (and the tastiest part, in my opinion) grows purple.
I wonder if it tastes the same as normal Broccoli?
