What looks like coral, grows in the garden, and sends your taste buds into spirals of delight?
Can you believe we got to eat this cosmic specimen?
Out of this world!

Awesome post and pic! Just planted a bunch of broccoli in our garden. Now I don’t know whether I want to eat it or stare at it with jaw-dropping awe! Always been fascinated with organic shapes in nature, especially the spiral. If you haven’t read it yet, pick up a copy of Theodore Andrea Cook’s book “Curves of Life.” It’s the only Dover edition book I’ve seen with Profusely illustrated in the subtitle. While it was written in 1914, it contains some very fascinating and mind-blowing information on spirals in nature. I highly recommend this book. Hope you have a great day and thanks for posting 🙂
Cheers,
Tyler

It’s delicious. We breaded it and baked it in a creamy sauce. So good! I’ve also put small pieces of it in coconut soup. Excellent!

They show hues of pinks into deep purples! Amazing. I’ll eat the green variety in your part of the world someday…:)

For this I would like to offer you the following two awards:

Wow, do ya think the color would be easier to convince kids to eat their broccoli? Didn’t know it came in this color; thanks for sharing.

Well, the color hasn’t really swayed Jeb. Actually, he was enamored when it was in raw form and did some snacking but wanted no part of it when it was slathered in butter and breadcrumbs, hot from the oven. Go figure!
