broccoli
Broccoli is typically treated as an uncountable mass noun in English, referring to the vegetable as a food item or a crop. When referring to the plant in a botanical or agricultural sense, it can occasionally be treated as countable, but in culinary contexts, it is almost always singular.
Because it is uncountable, you cannot say "three broccolis" to refer to three pieces of the vegetable. Instead, use partitive phrases such as "a head of broccoli," "a stalk of broccoli," or "a piece of broccoli" to specify quantity.
