Romanescu: Alien Vegetable or Broccoli Hybrid?

Romanescu is a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower that comes in a light green color and unusual patterns that match visual representations of a "Fibonacci" mathematical sequence. Fibonacci sequences appear in many patterns in nature, such as in shells, plants and animals, but the Romanescu vegetable's shape makes a striking comparison. You can find some pictures online that are dyed or painted to highlight the swirling pattern.
