I've grown it in my garden and it's very tasty - supposed to be chock full of vitamins too.

My first attempt didn't go well at growing these, but I love the flavour.  And Romanescu are ideal for children who don't like veg as the florets look like little Christmas trees!   :D :D

It makes good crudites for dips etc and is very good to eat raw and cooked

One year I tried to grow cauliflower, romanesco and calabrese, and they were all pitiful   :( because my sandy soil isn't really right for brassicas. They took up a lot of space for very little return. If you have more clay they will probably be more rewarding.

romanesco are so weird (shape and colour) - I was a bit hesitant at first as I'm not a lover of cauliflower but I'll try anything just to see for myself, and ... it's a broccoli (which I love!)  And very nice too - I can highly recommend it.
Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
