Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is a cruciferous vegetable known for its high nutritional value and health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and essential vitamins, it has been linked to reduced inflammation and improved heart health. Historically, broccoli was cultivated in the Mediterranean region and gained popularity in Europe during the 16th century, eventually making its way to the United States in the 18th century.
