Is it art or food Both, Romanesco is not actually a broccoli, but somewhere between a broccoli and cauliflower, with 5 to 6 in heads. First noted by Italians in the 16th century, it is now catching the eyes of gourmet chefs. Cooked, Romanesco has a delicious nutty flavor and a texture similar to cauliflower. Easier to grow for fall harvest as a warm spring may delay heads until fall.
