Brassicaceae (7)

Brassicaceae, also known as the mustard family, is a family of flowering plants that includes about 4,000 species. This family is characterized by its diverse species, from herbs to shrubs, including well-known vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and radish. Brassicaceae plants typically have four-petaled flowers arranged in a cross shape, which is why they’re also called “crucifers”. They are found worldwide and many species are cultivated for their nutritional value, while others have ornamental or medicinal uses.
