History
Broccoli, a member of the Brassica family, originated in the Mediterranean region, particularly Italy, over 2,000 years ago. It was cultivated for its edible flower heads and valued for its nutritional benefits. Broccoli spread across Europe and eventually worldwide due to its health-promoting properties. With the advent of modern food processing, dehydration techniques were developed, resulting in Broccoli Flakes, which retain the vegetable’s nutrients, flavor, and color while offering convenience for cooking, soups, sauces, and health-focused recipes.
