Is it broccoli ? Is it cauliflower? It's Romanesco season. You don't hear that everyday. So good and really easy to enjoy. Roast it with salt pepper and olive oil . Delicious.

Functions and Energetics

1. Clears Heat and Promotes Detoxification
• Like other cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage), Romanesco helps clear mild Heat and resolve toxins from the body.
• Useful for skin eruptions, mild inflammation, or after febrile illness to cool and cleanse.

2. Transforms Phlegm and Regulates Qi
• Its slightly bitter flavor helps to descend Lung Qi and reduce Phlegm accumulation, especially when caused by Heat or Damp-Heat.
• Beneficial for a feeling of fullness in the chest, mild cough with yellow phlegm, or sluggish digestion.

3. Strengthens the Spleen and Aids Digestion
• The sweet flavor supports the Spleen and harmonizes the middle jiao.
• Good for mild bloating, poor appetite, or loose stools from Spleen Qi deficiency.

4. Moves Liver Qi Gently
• Its shape and sulfur compounds give it a mild dispersing action, helping ease stagnation, irritability, or tension related to the Liver Qi.

5. Supports Blood and Yin
• The rich green color (Wood element) and nutrient density suggest a mild Yin and Blood-nourishing quality — particularly helpful for those recovering from illness or fatigue
