Question

which of the following is not considered a flowering vegetable?
○ broccoli
○ cauliflower
○ brussels sprouts
○ zucchini

Explanation:

Flowering vegetables are those where the edible part is the flower or flower bud. Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts are all part of the Brassica family and their edible parts are flower buds or immature flowers. Zucchini (courgette) is a type of squash where the edible part is the fruit (botanically, but used as a vegetable in cooking), not a flower or flower bud. So zucchini is not a flowering vegetable.

Answer:

D. Zucchini
