Chinese students sell ‘cabbage rose’ Valentine’s Day gift that’s all heart

Trying to boost the vitamin-C content of the ‘napa’ cabbage variety, a Nanjing Agricultural University professor developed the hybrid ‘yellow rose’ This highly nutritious vegetable can withstand very low temperatures.

That is how the Chinese university team had a fresh offering for Valentine’s Day this year – a hybrid cabbage variety that “blooms” in the shape of a rose. After it was promoted by students online, the highly nutritious “yellow rose” sold out within a day, reported scmp.com.
