What is a "floret"?
A floret is a small, individual flower or cluster of flowers that make up the flowering head of certain plants, particularly those in the daisy family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. These small flowers are arranged tightly together on a central stem, forming a dense cluster. In vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, the florets are the small, compact buds that make up the edible portion of the plant. These florets can be harvested and consumed raw or cooked, offering a nutritious and flavorful addition to various dishes.
