It reproduces by seeds. It is an annual plant, but it is at its best between the months of September and January in the northern hemisphere, although it is available throughout the year. This variety looks like broccoli and is related to it. The plant is composed of a white head (if it has brownish spots, separate inflorescences or soft parts in the mass, it means that it is old) called mass or pella, which is the only edible part, surrounded by thick green leaves. Its size can reach 30 cm in diameter and it can weigh more than 2 kg. The color of the dough can be yellowish white, green or purple depending on the variety grown. It has a mild flavor and, at times, slightly sweet.
