Romanesco @ The Co-op


Think spring! We just received some wonderful, beautiful, and delicious Romanesco. Romanesco broccoli was first documented in Italy in the sixteenth century.

Also known as broccoflower or coral broccoli, Romanesco broccoli is rich in vitamen C, fiber, and carotenoids.

Romanesco broccoli is usually prepared like conventional broccoli, with a texture more tender than cauliflower. Eat it raw. Cook it up. Enjoy!
