Garden Girls Podcast Episode 84: The Vegetable That's Also Five Other Vegetables (History Episode!)

Did you know that cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi are all the exact same species? This week we dig into the 2,500-year breeding project that turned one scrappy coastal weed into half your produce aisle — starting with a Greek botanist doing side-by-side taste tests in 400 BC, and ending with a president who declared war on broccoli. Grab your garden gloves (or just a snack) and settle in — this is one of our favorite history deep-dives yet!🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
