Broccoli
This protein-rich vegetable is a great option for those following a plant-based diet, packing a higher punch of protein than other brassicas. While the average American consumes about 4 pounds of broccoli each year, the cruciferous vegetable originated in Italy and didn't become popular in the United States until Thomas Jefferson planted seeds from Italy in the garden of his plantation in the late 1700s.
