Read More »When selective breeding leads to a cross-pollination between broccoli and cauliflower, you can get a broccoflower, sometimes called green cauliflower. While there are several types of broccoflower, they commonly look like white cauliflower but are lime-green in color with spiked looking florets. It boasts similar nutritional qualities to cauliflower and broccoli and the taste is more tender and slightly sweeter. Another vegetable that is commonly referred to as Broccoflower is Romanesco broccoli. The lime green heads and florets make it look very similar to cauliflower-type broccoflower; however, Romanesco broccoli is an Italian heirloom. It has a firm texture and earthy, slightly nutty flavor. Both broccoli and cauliflower absorb flavors from other foods and have a fibrous texture making them mostly interchangeable in recipes. When eaten on its own, including fresh, boiled, or pureed, broccoli will have a greener flavor whereas cauliflower is more delicate in taste. While eating them raw is the best way to consume broccoli, cauliflower, or broccoflower your next best option could be to steam them. Without contact with boiling water, steaming is a gentler way to cook. One study found that steaming broccoli kept the highest level of nutrients when compared to boiling, microwaving, and stir-frying. Boiling can be beneficial only if the water the vegetables were boiled in isn't also thrown out but kept to make a soup or stew. Broccoli can also keep its antioxidant capacity after baking. So what are you waiting for? Start cooking today with a simple steamed cauliflower or broccoli tossed with garlic, olive oil, and lemon dish. Use raw broccoli and quinoa to throw together this make-ahead salad that creates a flavorful side dish. You can also pull out your slow cooker to combine cauliflower, broccoli, and cheese in this creamy slow-cooker soup.
