Brussel Sprouts

Brussel sprouts look like miniature cabbages and are high in fiber, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. In order to conserve the nutritional benefits, be careful not to overcook.

Steaming is a good way to cook Brussels sprouts to stop them from being waterlogged and soggy. Alternatively lightly fry with olive oil or butter.

Recipes abound of cooking with sprouts, whether in salads, roasted, steamed or fried. Common complimenting additives are cheese, bacon, and nuts.
