Tip: Try adding a little fun to your diet with the beautiful Romanesco cauliflower! I am not exactly what you would call a veggie enthusiast. I grew up on a meat-based diet, but my recent journey into nutrition has opened my eyes to the beautiful world of plant-based food. And then, last week during a walk through our local farmer’s market, I stumbled upon a beautiful piece of produce – the Romanesco cauliflower. There it was, this strange looking vegetable that practically winked at me. I had no idea it was a cauliflower\u2019s cousin. It was love at first sight!<\/span><\/p>\n Originating from the Mediterranean area, the Romanesco cauliflower is a beautiful addition to any diet and exemplifies the past week\u2019s theme of \u201cSacred Geometry\u201d in the Still & Moving Center almanac. Scientists identify it as a hybrid of both broccoli and cauliflower. It can be found under names such as Romanesco broccoli, fractal broccoli, or Roman cauliflower.<\/span><\/p>\n As part of the cruciferous family, along with cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and kale, the Romanesco cauliflower has high levels of vitamin C and other phytonutrients that can clear potentially cancerous cells, boost the immune system, and even promote healthier skin. Just one-quarter of a Romanesco cauliflower can provide 3g of carbs, 3g of protein, and 4g of fiber, at just 36 calories.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a delicious Garlic and Lemon Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower dish to add to your menu and accompany any dinner:<\/span><\/p>\n Garlic and Lemon Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Roasted romanesco cauliflower is incredibly tasty, especially with added lemon and garlic. You will want to eat the whole tray!
