Romanesco Broccoli: Unclassifiable Broccoli
April 7, 2008 – 9:38 am | Written by KiwiPulse
Since my childhood, I have been eating all kinds of vegetables such as cabbages, broccolis, brussel sprouts, cauliflowers, collard greens, etc. But nobody had ever exposed me with this alien engineered vegetable, the Romanesco broccoli. The Romanesco broccoli was first documented in Italy (as broccolo romanesco) in the sixteenth century (the century when the alien engineered it!). In Italy there are a number of recipes dedicated to Romanesco broccoli, but in the rest of the world it is usually prepared like normal broccoli.
I have always thought that veggies are ordinary until I came across this true marvel of nature. So intrigued by this veggie I decided to research more about it and discovered that they are selling seeds of this veggie on Amazon. That’s not all, I also found a near cousin to the Romanesco broccoli, the Purple Cauliflower. Maybe Barney the purple dino would want to try the purple cauliflower. I will definately buy these veggies if they are available in my local grocery store, not so much for eating but more for decorating my kitchen.

wow!I`m acually doing a report on the moai and these pictures are really helpful. Great...
Fantastic photographs. I did not know that such broccoli existed. Thanks for this interesting piece of information.
Ok, I just wanted to say I HATE broccoli. Ever since childhood, did it give me nightmares. Now this broccoli could possibly give me nightmares but I’d actually enjoy eating such a beautiful thing. Great pictures by the way!

Really weird looking broccoli. I’m not sure I could get myself to eat that. Does it taste the same?

I was about to order Steamed chicken and broccoli for lunch today but I think I just lost the appetite for it. These are great pictures and would be great to support an article about Life on Mars.
