Broccoflower is a hybrid between broccoli and cauliflower. According to one website, it was developed in 1988 in the Netherlands. Broccoflower is a trademark of Tanimura and Antle, a California vegetable producer. If you contact them, you may be able to get more details on its origin. There are many websites that mention broccoflower but they provide few details on its origin. I'm not aware of any health problems from broccoflower. It supposedly has a higher vitamin content than either cauliflower and broccoli. References The Vegetables Even Kids Love Broccoflower
