Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprout is a compact member of the cabbage family traditionally associated with Belgian and Northern European cooking but used worldwide — often roasted, sautéed, steamed or shredded into salads. It’s known for its slightly bitter, nutty flavor and dense little florets that caramelize well when roasted. Nutritionally, Brussels Sprout is a nutrient-dense vegetable and a particularly rich source of vitamin C at 85mg per 100g, while also contributing meaningful fiber and plant protein with very little fat. From a health perspective, Brussels Sprout provides beneficial plant compounds typical of cruciferous vegetables (glucosinolates) that have been linked to detoxifying and antioxidant actions, along with vitamin K and other micronutrients that support bone and immune health.
