Broccoli’s world history sprouted further in 1533, when Caterina de’Medici, wife of Henry II, introduced the vegetable to the French court. Broccoli’s worldwide journey continued in the 1720s, when it made its way to England. However, the British didn’t take to the vegetable right away, because of opposition to broccoli’s smell while it cooked. Despite broccoli becoming more bountiful and popular in Europe, this wasn’t the case in America yet. This doesn’t mean documentation of broccoli’s cultivation didn’t exist, however. Thomas Jefferson recorded planting broccoli in the United States in the 1700s. Though not his main claim to fame, he was an avid gardener who grew broccoli and variations of it. Unfortunately, the farming efforts of Jefferson and others in America growing broccoli, did not help the nutritious vegetable flourish there. This was partly attributed to the sulfur-like scent broccoli produced while cooking, and for another surprising reason. Because broccoli came from Italy, some did not like its association with Italian immigrants.
