And technically it's not a "fruit" -- it's a flower that you're eating, before it blooms yellow:)

Interesting observation. As an advocate of Rudolf Steiner I must categorise everything into one of four groups, in order to know when to plant, transplant & harvest. I assumed it was a fruit but perhaps I assumed wrong? Need to check this with my German garden guru!

Thanks Sebby. Love your field of broccoli tub of hummus story. Our broccoli leaves go in the salad, right alongside the kale which has a similar consistency :)
