I can only remember 3 at a time of all the variations of that plant, and people are always incredulous when I talk about it.

Yeah there are so damn many. Let's see... broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, uh...

I thought about it and was like naw can't possibly be. Too weird. So of course it is lol.

It really is a weird vegetable. I think that someone really liked beetroot but only had brassica, so, they forced it to be more like beets.

Bok choy, choy sum, Chinese broccoli (gailan), napa cabbage, turnips, tatsoi, mizuna, mustard, komatsuna....
