Romanesco is one of the most far out and edible flowers. It
is a cruciferous vegetable that belongs to the Brassica
family that was originated in Italy. Superficially, it is a
fractal of buds structurally similar to cauliflower but with a
green hue.
When eaten raw it is crunchy, but the texture can be altered by
sautéing, roasting, or to retain the most nutrients, steaming
them to your liking. The taste, however, is much like cauliflower
but considerably lighter and more nutty. It is commonly eaten
alongside meat, starches, and even in salads.
