Full description:
Romanesco Broccoli is a striking heirloom vegetable known for its bright chartreuse color and unique fractal, spiraled florets. With a nutty, slightly sweet flavor, it’s both visually stunning and delicious steamed, roasted, or raw. Romanesco is high in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting general health and digestion. While not a traditional medicinal herb, its nutrient density promotes immune support and overall wellness.
