Terrific Tuesday Movement Presents Today's Short Story
A Healthy Movement: A Short Story of Broccoli

Broccoli seems to be one of those vegetables that you either love or hate. But whether you love it or hate it, the fact that broccoli is super healthy is undeniable. Looks like your mom was right all this time when she said "Eat your broccoli, and you will grow strong". Well, mom did it again, because the truth is that broccoli is indeed a vegetable that is extremely good for you. Here are some reasons why: broccoli has anti oxidant properties, is rich in calcium and in vitamin C, has a positive impactive with our body's detoxication process, and countless more reasons. But the real question is: Where does the broccoli come from? What are the origins of the broccoli?

Well, broccoli did not become a popular foodstuff in the United States until the early 1920's. It was engineered from a cabbage relative by the ancient Etruscans, who were considered to be horticultural geniuses. Broccoli is a human invention. It was bred out of the wild kale plant by carefully selecting for the traits we wanted and discarding those we didn’t. Start with a wild kale. It has small flower buds and only flowers every other year. Next batch you might, again by chance, get a plant with not only larger buds but one that produces them more often. Save that one and keep going. In selecting and reinforcing the traits we like, human beings have taken a wild kale and bred a new kind of plant altogether, a broccoli plant.
