Does beauty matter or what’s inside carries the real importance? Let’s roast some cauliflowers to find it out!
It appears that cauliflowers grow in such ways that every branch is similar to the entire cauliflower plant and even as the branches become more distant from the center, the angle between them is always 360 divided by the golden ratio.
For those are not in the know, yet be able to grasp complex concepts in mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. For the rest of us the golden ratio is 1.618
Hopefully though, we won’t see cauliflowers in bikinis anytime soon but only roasted on our plates.
Why roast cauliflowers?
Roasting is one of the most ancient food preparation technique that not only made food safe to consume but made it more beautiful too. Apparently, roasting is one of the healthiest methods to prepare vegetables too as the heat won’t dissolve nutrients like cooking does not destroy them.
The drawback of roasting is that it requires a bit of extra time on our hand, comparing it to the microwave oven that gets things done in minutes. The microwave oven though fails at one crucial aspect of preparing our food that can’t be exchanged for anything and that is making our food more beautiful.
