Symmetry in Fruits and Vegetables

The next time you go grocery for shopping, you can look at the fruits and vegetables and will be surprised to see the symmetry displayed in them. The Romanesco broccoli is a typical vegetable which displays symmetry. The symmetry can be explained by a geometrical term called as fractal, which is a complex pattern. In this pattern, each fraction has the same geometrical pattern as the whole piece. Each floret is logarithmically similar to the whole head of the broccoli. Broccoli is made up of small, cone-like mini spirals which form one big spiral.
