Oscar Contender: Romanesco Broccoli



Right out of Avatar, this beautiful, elegant vegetable (also known as Green Cauliflower) would not be out of place on the planet Pandora. And why not? Vegetables can be stars too! What could be more stunningly 3-D than this fluorescent green vegetable demonstration of a fractal (keeping company with snowflakes, crystals, lightning bolts and even galaxy formation)?

As a contender for ‘Best Supporting Vegetable’ this cauliflower is possessed of a fantastic amount of vitamin C, a variety of B vitamins and even some iron and fiber. More tender than the usual earthly varieties, this cauliflower has a ‘nutty’ flavor and is best served as a crudité with other raw vegetables. Good Oscar company! Pass the envelope and the dip!
