Flower Sprouts
A cross between brussels sprouts and kale that produces open, frilly, purple-green rosettes instead of tight buttons. Milder flavour than sprouts, prettier than kale, and genuinely converts sprout-haters. A modern innovation that actually works.

Stir-fried flower sprouts
Halve if large, toss into a hot wok with sesame oil, soy sauce, and a pinch of chilli flakes. The frilly edges crisp up while the centres stay tender. A side dish that looks like it belongs on a fancy tasting menu.
