I had not known that broccoli came in any color other than green. Can
anyone comment on this?


One cultivar which is purple is:
Species: Brassica oleracea (broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens, etc)
SubSpecies = botytris (broccoli)
Variety = Raab
Cultivar = Hun Tsai Tai

Someone else said that calabrese isn't broccoli. But calabrese is just another variety of botytris, and
all botytris is broccoli.
