It has a small foil very similar to that of broccoli and a stem similar to that of an asparagus. The secret of its sweetness is in the sunlight. When the main head of the broccoli has been harvested, new shoots develop that, after 10 days, are ready to be picked. The shoots grow above the plant so that they can catch the sunlight which, together with their rapid growth, gives the shoots their attractive green color and distinctive flavor and texture. Sweet in taste, in the United Kingdom it is a food that enjoys a lot of popularity, hence it is considered a superfood.
