The cole crops broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, and kohlrabi belong to the same species (Brassica oleracea L.) in the Brassicaceae or mustard family. Kale most closely resembles the progenitor to this group of vegetables.
Native to European coasts, wild B. oleracea and related species are one to two metersin height with large lobed leaves and a terminal inflorescence of yellow flowers. Different portions of the plant were emphasized during domestication.
Broccoli and cauliflower were selected for large edible inflorescences, kohlrabi for an enlarged basal stem, and brussels sprouts and cabbage for leafy buds (axillary and terminal buds, respectively).
These vegetable crops grow best in cool climates with adequate soil fertility and ample water. Brassica species are unique in producing glucosinolates, the compounds that impart pungency to various cole crops.
Certain forms of these compounds are antinutritional while others are beneficial. On the balance, consumption of cole crops has a positive influence on human health.
Cole crops are used fresh, may be canned, frozen, dehydrated, pickled, and fermented. Sauerkraut, made from fermented cabbage, is an ancient process that was used to preserve this vegetable as a source of vitamins and minerals during the winter months.
