- Flowering vegetables are so called because they have the shape of flowers.
- They are usually small in size and appear like many flower buds clustered together.
- Along with essential nutrients, flowering vegetables also bear some phytochemicals called as isothiocyanates which help in preventing the production of cancerous cells.
- For this reason, these vegetables are called functional vegetables.
