The yellow flowers on broccoli plants are part of the plant's reproductive stage. Broccoli belongs to the Brassica family, and when it bolts or goes to seed, it produces these yellow flowers, which are actually the plant's way of reproducing. While the edible part of broccoli is the flower buds before they bloom, the yellow flowers can also be eaten and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. However, once the plant flowers, the quality of the broccoli heads diminishes.
