Romanesco also known as Romanesque cauliflower or Romanesco broccoli is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea. First documented in Italy it is light green in color. Romanesco has a striking appearance because its form is a natural approximation of a fractal. When compared to a traditional cauliflower as a vegetable its texture is far more crunchy and its flavour is not as assertive being delicate and nutty.
