The romanesco is not only one of the most beautiful vegetables that exist but it is a rich source of vitamin C and fiber. Its contribution to a healthy diet is undoubted, since it contains a greater richness in vitamins and minerals than other similar vegetables such as cabbages, cauliflower or cabbage. It stands out for its great richness in vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, phosphorus, folic acid, iron and potassium.
The romanesco is a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower that began to be consumed in Italy in the sixteenth century. Among its benefits, it stands out that it helps to lose weight, in addition to reducing cholesterol, increasing heart health and reducing the risk of cancer. Its consumption provides antioxidants, which help reduce the risk of chronic inflammation and cancer, and fiber helps excrete toxins from the body.
