Jaṅgāranī (Jain view) on broccoli:

• Yes, broccoli is generally acceptable. It is not a root crop like potato, onion, or garlic, which many Jains avoid due to the principle of non-violence (ahiṃsā) toward living beings and the risk of harming organisms in the soil.
• Some Jain households may choose to avoid any vegetables that involve harm to small life forms or that are difficult to harvest without breaking stems or roots. In practice, broccoli is commonly eaten by many Jains, but individual customs can vary.

Key idea: follow non-violence and minimal harm in food choices, and align with the tradition you follow (Digambar or Śvetāmbara) if you have specific family or community guidance.
