Discovering just how many vegetables are all brassica was a lot similar to when I found out that all real tea (black/green/white/oolong) is the exact same plant.
It's always Brassica

Wait until you find out about peppers, especially bell. Yellow red and green…
LemmingOnTheEdge@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I assume you’re getting at the extremely vast number of cultivars included in capsicum annuum. There are lots of popular cultivars included in capsicum frutescens and chinense though.

What should I know about peppers?
Krauerking@lemy.lol 10 months ago
Except for Red/Rooibos tea which is a Fabaceae legume like soybeans, peanuts, and liquorice.

There’s mate, which is a different species: Ilex Paraguariensis vs. Camellia Sinensis.

Absolutely love it, in all forms. Yerba mate to start my morning and Club-Mate to extend the night!

I’m not sure if anyone’s see it before, but romanesco broccoli looks absolutely stunning.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 months ago
i can’t eat some broccoli but i want to eat this just for the math
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Mmmmm, fractal broccoli…
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s tasty, too – and I fucking hate regular broccoli and cauliflower.
There’s an orange variant of this which tastes the same but is even cooler-looking.

But do the cabbage worms fuck with it?
Faydaikin@beehaw.org 10 months ago
No need for name calling, but to answer your question; yes I do.

I recently took in one of these that was found on commercial produce, and turns out they will starve themselves to death if they’ve learned about the most premium crucifers and are denied them.
hector@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Is it though?
I can often tell a Brassica species just by looking at it. Redwood seems entirely dissimilar am I dumb and missing a joke here or what?
stray@pawb.social 10 months ago
No, the joke is that people would potentially believe anything about brassicas at this point because everything else is a brassica.
woodenghost@hexbear.net 10 months ago
No, it’s just a joke. But lots of veggies are.

Do brussel sprouts really look the same as cauliflower to you?
stray@pawb.social 10 months ago
In the leaves, yes. The white part is flowers.

All hail brassica prime
WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 10 months ago
All look the same as a silhouette.
BanMe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We know they follow a fractal pattern.
As do dinosaurs, which ate the big trees, and (in chicken nugget form) eat the small broccoli trees too
Nature is beautiful.
stray@pawb.social 10 months ago
You are what you eat, so dinosaurs are a type of broccoli too.

Oh, and I was being sarcastic. Thank you.
