Broccoli is considered an edible green plant in the cabbage family, Brassicaceae. It is grown for its flower clusters that form the heads commonly eaten as a vegetable. So, while broccoli does produce flower buds, it is primarily cultivated for its dense foliage and stem.
Broccoli is a flower head that grows on a stem that is part of the plant's root system.
Broccoli is a vegetable that is actually a flower. It is a member of the cabbage family and the head of broccoli is made up of clusters of unopened flower buds.
Eat the pomegranate seeds, not the flower.
The edible parts of a flower are typically the petals, which can be used in salads, desserts, or as garnishes. Some flowers like squash blossoms can also have edible stamens and pistils. It's important to make sure flowers are safe to eat and have not been treated with chemicals before consuming them.
Many flowers are considered edible. Broccoli is likely the most common edible flower.
No, you are eating an edible plant of the cabbage family.
BROCCOLI : a green vegetable with edible leaves and "flower" heads (florets).

The broccoli head is actually the collective flower buds of the plant. Each of the tiny green parts of the broccoli head will open into a yellow flower if left uncut. This head rises up from the center of the plant.

Broccoli is not a fruit because it is a plant, namely a Cabbage (Brassicaceae) plant. Broccoli possesses abundant fleshy flower heads, usually green in color, arranged in a tree-like fashion on branches sprouting from a thick, edible stalk. The large mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves. Broccoli most closely resembles cauliflower, which is a cultivar group of the same species of Brassica. I'm not sure what the previous post is saying. Fruits are parts of plants. Although the rest of the answer is correct, in fact broccoli is a flower which becomes part of the fruit. So it is in fact an immature fruit, not the leafy or vegetative part of the plant or what we would call a vegetable. Broccoli is a fruit. If the edible part of the plant comes from the reproductive part of the plant, it is a fruit. If the edible part of the plant comes from the vegetative part of the plant, it is a vegetable (such as carrots, potatoes, radishes, lettuce, spinach, etc.) We eat the flowering part of the broccoli. Flowers house the reproductive organs.
