You can cook like you do brocoli but it tastes closer to cauliflower. I've sauteed it in a pan with a bit of slice garlic. If you over cook it, it doesn't get mushy but gets a grainy and real fibery texture which is pretty nasty.

It's very popular in Italy. I saw more of the purple variation as garnish rather than being cooked.

You can steam it, too, or just eat raw with a dip. Pretty for a crudite, though the purple might throw someone off.

I've never had it, but I have seen it. Picky likes broccoli, wonder if he'd eat this (but not purple!!)

Let us know what you do!

I've steamed them. I serve them at Christmas (when I can find them) because they look like Christmas trees.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
