"Ancient Romans had a love affair with broccoli dating back to BC. The son of Roman Emperor Tiberius was so infatuated with broccoli that he forsook all other foods except broccoli ala Apicius (with a mixture of cumin, coriander seeds, chopped onion, oil and sun-made wine) for an entire month. Legend has it ,his broccoli binge turned his urine bright green, making him a standout among all the gladiators."
