I learned this recently from another post here on HN:

"Brassica oleracea is a plant species that includes many common cultivars, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan."

If you look really closely at Broccoli, you can see the structure of the little buds are identical to Brussels sprouts just scaled way down.

I don’t know why I enjoy that fact so much but I sure do!
