Broccoli originally came into existence as a mutation of Chinese cabbage. True or false?

See the answer

The correct answer is “false.” Broccoli did not originate from Chinese cabbage. While both broccoli and Chinese cabbage belong to the Brassicaceae family, broccoli arose as a mutation from the cabbage lineage and was later refined through selective breeding. It is a vegetable that has been eaten since ancient times around the Mediterranean and is taxonomically distinct from Chinese cabbage. Incidentally, broccoli and cauliflower are also close relatives.
