Romanesco Cabbage

Romanesco broccoli is a variety of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica). It’s part of those plants which of are not eaten leaves, but inflorescents. It seems like a cauliflower but it’s light green coloured, it has a pyramidal structure and its flowers are disposed like a vortex. Every “rose” (idk every flower) extactly replies the structure of the cabbage itself, in a tinier form. Romanesco broccoli is rich in magnesium, potassium, manganese and flavonoids. It contains a huge quantity of C vitamin and provitamine A, too. It’s really emollient and it really helps those who suffer from reflux gastroesofagian and it even is one of the so called “anti-cancer” products, because it has important antioxidant properties. 

Season:

• From September to February
