We grew the romanescos. They are quite delicious, but difficult to grow! They taste like broccoli, and the texture is fun. Kind of like if gravel was soft and yummy. Hmm… weird description.

First saw a pic of “broccoli romanesco” in a magazine and had to find it online to show my mom…Its beautiful and eerie looking at the same time..Kinda like one of those groups of mushrooms u see growing in the middle of a lawn…

I love the fractal broccoli! It is firm and sweeter than the regular kind. The floret is more similar to the taste and texture of regular broccoli stems.

That’s a beautiful photo of broccoli romanesco. I buy it a few times a year when it’s in season. To my taste buds, the taste is somewhere in between the taste of regular broccoli and the taste of cauliflower. I like to eat it along with Italian-spiced turkey sausage and Lundberg Golden Rose brown rice.

It’s the fractal one that’s giving me the creeps! To me the purple one just looks like it’s been unrealistically Photoshopped!
