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.
