How Is American Chinese Food Different from Chinese Food in China?

Beef and broccoli can be found in nearly every Chinese restaurant in America, but did you know that the kind of broccoli found in America is not even native to China? That’s right! It’s hard to imagine beef and broccoli with florets to soak up the sauce but Chinese broccoli very different than its American counterpart. It is much more leafy and bitter, like a cross between broccoli, broccoli rabe, and kale.

Like other American Chinese dishes, beef and broccoli has its origins in California. It was born of a combination of Chinese flavors and techniques with American ingredients and tastes. Other vegetables that are common in American Chinese food but not traditional Chinese food include tomatoes, yellow onions, and carrots.

Five Fun Facts About Broccoli

  1. People have been eating broccoli for more than 2500 years. It originated in Italy where it was first eaten and cultivated by the Romans.
  2. Broccoli was mainly grown in Italy until it was popularized in France after the marriage of Catherine de Medici to the king. Broccoli was popularized in the US by Italian farmers living in California and to this day, California produces the most broccoli in the US.
  3. Broccoli and other vegetables in the same family, like cabbage and bok choy, have been found in some studies to protect against different cancers [1].
  4. The method of preparation changes the nutritional profile of broccoli. While both raw and cooked broccoli are healthy, steamed broccoli appears to be closest to raw in terms of nutrient levels [2].
  5. When buying broccoli, look for heads that are bright green with tightly packed florets. Ripe broccoli should also feel heavy for its size.
