I believe the answer is:

broccoli

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vegetable' is the definition.
(I know that Broccoli is a type of vegetable)

'brother with endless stomach pain devours cold' is the wordplay.
'brother with' becomes 'bro' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'stomach pain' becomes 'colic' (type of stomach complaint).
'devours' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are devoured).
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'colic' with its last letter taken away is 'coli'.
'coli' going around 'c' is 'ccoli'.
'bro'+'ccoli'='BROCCOLI'
