A variety of broccoli with a large central green head and smaller side shoots, also called heading broccoli or green broccoli.
From Italian 'calabrese,' meaning 'from Calabria.' This broccoli variety originates from Calabria in southern Italy, and the Italian geographic name was adopted into English for this cultivar.
Most of the broccoli you eat at home is calabrese broccoli—it's the modern cultivated version that grocery stores prefer because those perfect green heads look amazing, but wild broccoli relatives are much spikier and smaller!
