Did you know brussell sprouts, kale, cabbage, and broccoli are all from the same species? There are like 20 different vegetables but I can't remember them all.

Brassica oleracea. The uncultivated form is known as wild cabbage and looks like a weed.



It's been bred into an amazing number of totally different plants by modifying one particular trait.

Kohlrabi: Stem
Kale and collard greens: Leaves
Broccoli: Flower buds and stem
Gai lan: Stem and leaves
Brussels sprouts: Lateral leaf buds
Cabbage: Terminal leaf bud
Cauliflower: Flower buds

Fun fact: The Jersey cabbage can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) tall!
