Snow cabbage

Fine

Wife and I took master's broccoli for dinner. It was yummy to death.
I felt its sweetness when I put it on the tip of my tongue.

It is said that the vegetable which came under snow is yummy. For example, cabbage is a typical under snow vegetable.

Its mechanism is like following, if you like to know, mate.
Under snow vegetable has a high sugar content. Vegetables make the sugar to prevent from frozen. Because sugar causes a freezing-point depression, so that it is difficult to froze what contents sugar, comparing to only water.
In this case, the kind of sugar is glucose. It is consisted by carbohydrate which is created by photosynthesis. Carbohydrate is usually spent for creating the new cells. So that, in the freezing temperature, vegetables stop to create new cell, and create glucose to protect itself from being frozen.
