Fette col cavolo nero Cabbage Crostini Green is the favorite color of Tuscany. It is seen in its various hues and tints throughout the region especially in the countryside. The olive groves, the vineyards and the cypress trees bear testimony to the fact that this is a predominant color in the landscape. However the color is not confined to the landscape alone but is all-inclusive in its food as the Florentines and other Tuscans love their greens and incorporate them in many traditional Tuscan dishes.
Green vegetables have been a favorite food of the Florentines traditionally. In the fourteenth century hot food stands or stalls in the city use to sell boiled green vegetables on slices of toasted bread. Unfortunately this tradition has disappeared. However the Sant’Ambrogio and San Lorenzo markets can recapture a sense of those times with their original smells and flavors.
