One of the most beatiful vegetables, this plant creates fractal shapes in its head and has a vibrant pale green color. Even more striking is the flavor, mild and nutty, with no bitterness at all. It has the best qualities of both broccoli and cauliflower. The leaves are also edible, although they have a stronger flavor than the head and can be tough when they are large.
On the downside, it is a relatively slow grower, and it produces only one head.
