Broccoli is a fast growing annual plant that grows 60-90 cm tall.  Branchy with leathery leaves, broccoli bears dense green clusters of flower buds at the ends of the central axis and the branches. Broccoli thrives in moderate to cool climate and is propagated by seeds.  The head or florets reach harvest in 60 to 150 days depending upon the variety and the weather. Broccoli is a good source of fiber and protein, as well as a good array of vitamins A, C, E, and K
