To celebrate our 140th year in the seed business, we're excited to bring back some old, old favourites from our archives!
Broccoli Romanesco is a nutty tasting Italian lime-green broccoli with a beautiful spiral patterned head. Also known as 'cauliflower Romanesco'. This heirloom variety has been grown since the 16th century. Ideal steamed until tender or delicious roasted.
Romanesco broccoli has a very unique claim to fame that fascinates mathematicians: the distinctive spirals are rare natural examples of fractal geometry, because they form repeating 'golden' logarithmic spirals that follow a Fibonacci sequence...they're mathematically perfect. The data indicates they're pretty tasty, too!
Features
- VIBRANT LIME GREEN
- SPIRAL PATTERNED HEAD
