Brassica oleracea var. italica( Pour l’article ayant un titre homophone, voir Broccoli. ) Brassica oleracea var. asparagoides Brocoli. Variété Brassica oleracea var. asparagoidesDC., 1821 Synonymes * Brassica oleracea L. var. cymosa Duchesne (1785)[réf. souhaitée] * Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck (1794)[réf. souhaitée] Le brocoli est une variété de chou originaire de Sicile. Il fut sélectionné par les Romains à partir du chou sauvage. Ceux-ci l'appréciaient beaucoup et la cuisine italienne l'utilise beaucoup. Le brocoli présente une tige centrale ferme ramifiée en petits bouquets qui, à la floraison, sont parsemés de minuscules fleurs jaunes. On le cueille avant l'éclosion de ses fleurs jaunes. Le mot « brocoli » est dérivé du latin bracchium signifiant « branche », en référence à la forme du légume qui fait penser à des arbres miniatures. Habituellement de couleur vert foncé à vert sauge, le brocoli peut aussi être blanc ou pourpre (violacé).
