Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) is a nutrient-dense vegetable that belongs to the cruciferous family. It features tightly packed green flower buds (the crown) atop thick stalks, often accompanied by smaller leaves. Known for its slightly bitter and earthy flavor, broccoli is highly versatile and can be steamed, roasted, stir-fried, or eaten raw.

In hydroponics, broccoli grows well with proper care in systems like NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) or DWC (Deep Water Culture). It requires moderate temperatures, nutrient balance, and sufficient light for optimal growth.
