Talk:Brocciflower

i think the image is romanesco broccoli rather than brocciflower


 * Yes, indeed I agree, this is a picture of a Broccoflower and not a Brocciflower XApple 00:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I think "brocciflower" is a typo
All the sources I can find about brocciflower point to a manuscript by Martina McGloughlin of UC Davis that is available on whybiotech, a pro-genetic engineering propaganda site. The section of that manuscript that deals with "brocciflower" contains many descriptions that are incorrect. I suspect that she simply misspelled "broccoflower," and that the paper was not reviewed by someone familiar with the origin of green cauliflower.

Unless someone can show a picture of something actually marketed as "brocciflower" (and not just a misspelling by the produce clerk), this page should be deleted.

 * I made the change in the text to provide a relatively NPOV version. I have no objection to simply creating a redirect to BroccoflowerPhytism 22:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
