The fractal shapes are really beautiful, but the other beautiful thing is the species to which it belongs.

We have many vegetables that are really just different forms of the same species Brasica oleracea [0]:

    Brassica oleracea Acephala group – kale
    Brassica oleracea Viridis group – collard greens
    Brassica oleracea Alboglabra group – kai-lan (Chinese broccoli)
    Brassica oleracea Botrytis group – cauliflower, Romanesco broccoli, and broccoflower
    Brassica oleracea Capitata group – cabbage
    Brassica oleracea Gemmifera group – Brussels sprouts
    Brassica oleracea Gongylodes group – kohlrabi
    Brassica oleracea Italica group – broccoli

It's amazing that we can cultivate a single species into so many different types of food.

Some people hate each and every one of these varieties, that is probably due to genetics.

Claims about some of them being "super foods" are nonsense, but they are all pretty good food sources.

You really should not cook them too long. Then they start smelling and tasting pretty bad.
