Brassica oleracea Seeds
Collards Southern Georgia
Brassica is a genus of plants in the cabbage and mustard family, Brassicaceae. The members of the genus are informally known as cruciferous vegetables, cabbages or mustard plants. Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops, derived from the Latin caulis, denoting the stem or stalk of a plant. A dislike for cabbage or broccoli can result from the fact that these plants contain a compound similar to phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), which is either bitter or tasteless to people depending on their taste buds.
