Broccoli grows like a tree with a thick, edible trunk that sprouts leaves, or branches and clusters of small, tight flower heads that turn bright green when ripe. It is at this stage of dark green that it is consumed but if fully mature or bolting, the flower buds will sprout golden yellow with flowers which are edible too. 1 Piece weighs around 350 to 500 Grams
