Romanesco cabbage - the most beautiful vegetables in the world Bashny.Net

Mathematics and kapusta



Almost all children hate math and cabbage, and cauliflower romanesco - two in one. But adults can fully appreciate this vegetable. Cabbage romanesco looks like a fractal - a complex geometric shape in which each small part is exactly the same as most. In this case, cabbage consists of small flowers, which in turn consists of smaller flowers of the same form, and those - of even smaller.

If you come off one of the main flower of head, you will see that it is a smaller version of it. It is surprising that something similar could occur in nature in a natural way.





Cabbage romanesco - mathematical miracle that resembles the Fibonacci series, the numerical sequence in which each successive number is the sum of the two previous numbers. Starting sequence: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on ad infinitum.



As the cabbage can be linked to numbers? Very simple: on closer examination we see romanesco spiral unfolding from the center. In fact, it is the Fibonacci spiral - a series of arcs with a radius corresponding to the Fibonacci number sequence.

If you count the number of spirals in each direction, they will always be in the sequence. Of course, in the case of cabbage this can not continue indefinitely, fractal in this case has a breakpoint. But it is a miracle of nature, not the selection.





Due to its perfect structure romanesco cauliflower so beautiful that it even cook a pity, but it is very tasty - at least if you believe the books themselves we have not tried. It can be eaten raw, it is as crisp as cauliflower, but not so soft. Those who have tried it say that the taste is like a romanesco nuts. It goes well with all kinds of sauces and cook it should be the same as, for example, ordinary broccoli.
