Brassicas - Crucifères

The genus Brassica has been extensively hybridized for eons for cultivation in the tropics to the Arctic circle by cross-pollinating selected varieties of the mustard family and growing the seeds of the resulting plant. Cruciferous vegetables cultivars have valued attributes of astounding differences, all of them grow to nourishing substantial consistency in a short period of time. Almost all parts of the brassicaceae plant has been developed for food of different colours; the roots, stem, leaves, buds, flowers and seeds. Hybrids of brassicas have been created in different countries with different and similar characteristics taken into consideration, not only for shape and taste but also for colour. Brassica plants can be grown for winter crops in cold snowy winters of temperate regions of the world. Plant in a sunny spot for bigger and faster growing plants.
