Based on the size of their green-colored heads, broccoli (Brassica oleracea convar. botrytis var. italica, Brassicaceae) consists of two types. The heading type produces a single, large head resembling cauliflower and the sprouting (non-heading) type produces smaller flower heads, on branches sprouting from a thick, edible stalk. We provide information about the numerous aspects of production of broccoli including cultivation, pests and diseases, harvest, postharvest and storage.
