ROMANESCO CAULIFLOWER (Spain)

Organic Romanesco Cauliflower

We grow our own cauliflower here at the farm for as long as the season will allow. As with all our vegetables we will always source as close to home as possible before having to go further afield.

The vibrant, fractal Romanesco is somewhere between broccoli and cauliflower in flavour with a little more nuttiness than its white relation. You can use it in all the ways you would use cauliflower, either steamed, boiled, roasted or raw.

• Studies of shown that eating cauliflower just once a week significantly decreases the risk of developing colorectal and prostate cancer.
• The phytonutrients provided by cauliflower are headed off by its glucosinolates. These sulfur-containing compounds are well-studied and known to provide a variety of health benefits. The glucosinolates best-studied in cauliflower include: 
• Glucosinolates are the subject of increasing health research, and the more that is learned about glucosinolates, the broader scientists see their role in supporting our body systems. The list of body systems supported by intake of glucosinolates from cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables has now come to include our cardiovascular, digestive, immune, inflammatory, and detoxification systems.
