  In my opinion, no. It is picked and consumed when the buds are still tight, if the head starts to loosen or the buds begin to open it has a more bitter taste to it.

    Related, but kale blooms look similar and I like the florets a lot in pasta (esp. mac & cheese).

    I hope that this does not catch you in the wrong frame of reference, but given your diverse dietary background I feel that this may be one of the least objectionable chances for me to query your memory regarding whether or not you may have ever by chance had the opportunity to also partake in the consumption (including subsequent digestion) of the testicular organs of any mammalian species, such as for example, the testicles of a non-humanoid primate, like of a monkey?

      Not monkey but rocky mountain oysters.

  Typically when plants flower they become more bitter. There are outliers but the general rule holds. Broccoli is better before it flowers fs
