Romanesco Cabbage

Romanesco cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is a variety of cauliflower that originated in Rome, Italy.

Although it is a variety dating back to the Renaissance, its introduction in France is relatively recent, it is grown in large numbers in Brittany.

Romanesco cabbage resembles broccoli by its apple green color and cauliflower by its compact shape, but consists of a set of pyramidal "florets" arranged in spiral crowns.
