I’ve seen markets sell brussels sprouts on the stalk but I didn’t know it had leaves.

I figured the leaves were the brussels sprouts,

Thanks for the info.

On another branch of that family tree, those leaves are kale.

  Not even another branch - it’s the same exact species, just a different cultivar

    selected for increased leaf growth over the flowers.

First time I saw them I felt like someone was playing a massive prank on me… in a random supermarket, by putting clearly alien veggies in the veggie section

they are buds of the flowering part. we eat the flowering parts mostly, like broccoli, cauliflower.

  I should find out how this stuff grows. I have no idea how broccoli and cauliflower grow.
  
  Thanks for the info.
