  • If you ask for బ్రకోలి in a traditional village market, the vendor might look at you blankly. Most locals will only recognize the vegetable if you describe it as a 'foreign vegetable' or a 'green flowering vegetable'.
  • Because Telugu is an agglutinative language, when బ్రకోలి is used in a sentence, it often takes suffixes that change its sound slightly to fit the flow of the sentence.
  • While the word is బ్రకోలి, some Telugu speakers may refer to it as 'flower cabbage' using a mix of English and Telugu concepts to describe its appearance.
