Flourishing in the fall months, this cross between broccoli and
cauliflower packs cancer-fighting properties as well as vitamin C and fiber. The unusual spiral of its buds give the mild-flavored veggie a
futuristic look that will spark the curiosity of even the most stubborn
eater. Your 8-year-old might claim to hate all green vegetables, but see
what he thinks of "alien broccoli" (yes, grownups love it too).
Try: Steamed and drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper as a side dish.
