Organic Romanesco Broccoli (1 count)

Amount: 1 head

Romanesco offers a distinctive nutty, earthy taste with subtle sweet notes, making it versatile for serving fresh or gently cooked. The vegetable can be prepared as whole heads or separated into individual florets. While it works well as a substitute in broccoli or cauliflower recipes, take care to avoid overcooking, which can result in mushy texture and diminished taste. An excellent preparation technique involves blanching the florets briefly, then plunging them into ice water to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture. After this process, they're perfect for incorporating into fresh salads, mixing with pasta dishes, or pairing with rich cheese-based or tomato sauces!

Nutritionally, Romanesco provides abundant Vitamin C to support immune function, vitamin K to promote faster wound recovery, and vitamin A for maintaining healthy organs. The florets deliver beneficial fiber that aids digestion, potassium for maintaining proper fluid balance, plus other important minerals including phosphorus, iron, and magnesium.
