One of the most beautiful vegetables during the Spring season is the Romanesco. It is technically a broccoli but visually closer to a cauliflower. This remarkable-looking vegetable contains ample amounts of zinc, carotenoids, iron, vitamin C and folate.

Both the fractal pattern and the Fibonacci sequence formed by the spirals of the buds pique my mathematical side.
