broccolis
Tiny tree vegetables
Broccolis is the plural of broccoli, the green vegetable with dense clusters of edible flower buds on thick stalks.
Though broccoli already functions as both singular and plural in most contexts, broccolis appears when emphasizing distinct varieties or individual heads: The grocery store carries three different broccolis.
