Broccoli

Embarrassing to admit, but I had no idea what a broccoli plant looked like until I grew one. Those little green things we crunch are actually pods that will turn into yellow flowers if left to their own devices. And they grow in the center of the plant surrounded by leaves. I feel like I should have learned this at some point.

All the same, I'm still excited when food from my garden looks like food from the grocery store.
