Let’s talk about one of the most stunning veggies out there—Romanesco! This bright green, fractal-shaped beauty is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, with a mild, nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch.
A fractal shape is a complex, repeating pattern that looks the same at different scales—like the spirals on Romanesco, which naturally form a mesmerizing geometric design.
Why You’ll Love Romanesco:
- Packed with Vitamins C & K: Supports immunity & bone health.
- High-Fiber: Great for digestion.
- Mild, Nutty & Slightly Sweet: Perfect for any dish!
Easy Way to Enjoy:
- Break into florets & steam for 5 minutes.
- Toss with lemon juice, garlic and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
- Serve warm or cold as a side dish or salad topping!
Next time you’re at Whole Foods or your local farmers’ market, grab some Romanesco and give it a try!
Happy Tasty Tuesday!

I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
