Romanesco

Romanesco is also known as ‘tower cabbage’ because of its strikingly shaped florets. Its flavour is a bit milder than cauliflower. It’s tasty in both traditional Belgian stews and Mediterranean pasta dishes.

tips

Store separately

Romanesco is sensitive to ethylene gas. Do not place the vegetable next to ethylene-producing vegetables such as apples, pears, and tomatoes to prevent it from wilting faster.

Presentation

Present the romanesco head facing upwards, with some of the leaves wrapped partially around it. This highlights the spiral-shaped florets and keeps the head protected.

Optimal storage

Romanesco dries out and discolours quickly, so ensure proper ventilation while avoiding moisture loss and temperature fluctuations. Handle the pointed florets carefully, as this vegetable is more delicate than regular cauliflower.

Growing Method

Our romanesco is grown outdoors, which means the vegetable develops in open air, directly in the soil. This method allows the romanesco to grow naturally and absorb all the nutrients from the earth. The result is a delicious and healthy vegetable packed with flavour and nutritional value.
