Colorful "Rainbow" Cauliflowers

Alex

Plant company Syngenta has created "rainbow cauliflowers" that look like they came back from the neon-drenched '80s.

Some scientists say that these veggies (created through selective breeding, not genetic engineer) could even be healthier for you: Link - Thanks wade7!

well, selective breeding is a form of genetic engineering.
This is a frustrating misconception by the public in relation to GMOs.
These are still genetically modified organisms, just like any cow bred to prefer a type of crop, or have a likelihood to be unusually massive, its just that they dont have introduced genes such as extra beta carotene from a carrot gene, or extra iron from a haemaglobin.

I've tried those. They (unfortunately) don't taste much different than white cauliflower. They're deceiving... because of the colour, I expected the orange one to taste like cheese!

Ooooh nifty! I saw a documentary about the Winter Solstice and Newgrange came up and it has intrigued me for a while. Can't wait for the live feed!

So all these ancient sites throughout the world correspond to the solstices ... I often wonder if there is more to them or were they just one big calendar clock for the locals.
