My household hates broccoli but I love it they are apart of the cabbage family.
I love broccoli!  I thought it was a gmo of cauliflower but I could be wrong.
No it is apart of the cabbage family the large flower head is what is to be eaten I like mines boiled and fried how about you?
My favourite is tempura but I'll eat it any way even raw.  I grew broccoli before and it had tiny yellow flowers which was not the part we typically eat.
I can't eat it raw my mother likes it like that with some fresh ranch it's to bland for me and I never had it in tempura only my sushi with shrimp and rice lol.
