A New Brocolli ?

The other day I received a parcel from a friend, whose friend worked in the agriculture.   In the parcel was a strange looking vegetable, as big as an apple.  

This is a photo of a new type of broccoli - hm, to me it looks like a combination of broccoli and cauliflower ... i boiled it and had it for lunch.  It tastes sweet but has a texture somewhat different from broccoli nor cauliflower.

My friend said it is going to be the new type of broccoli currently being researched here as it is said to have a higher level of nutrients... etc.   Hm, i must keep a note on this one!
