Stunning lime-green spiralling heads. Nuttier flavour than white cauliflower. Beautiful charred on the BBQ.
Flavour
Romanesco offers a nuttier, slightly earthier flavour compared to traditional white cauliflower, with a delicate sweetness that holds up well to smoky cooking methods.
In the kitchen
Its unique texture and shape make it ideal for charring over the BBQ, where the heat enhances its natural nuttiness and adds a beautiful smoky depth. Perfect as a grilled side or charred whole for a striking presentation.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture; avoid water stress to prevent loose heads. Best grown in cool weather with ample spacing to allow full head development and airflow.
