Brussels sprouts are small, leafy green vegetables belonging to the Brassica family, closely related to cabbage. Originating in Belgium, they are a popular ingredient in European cuisine and widely enjoyed for their earthy, slightly nutty flavor. Packed with nutrients, Brussels sprouts are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, which support immune health, bone strength, and digestion. They also contain plant compounds like glucosinolates and kaempferol, which have been linked to anti-inflammatory and cancer-protective benefits. Low in calories and versatile in preparation, they can be roasted, steamed, sautéed, or added to salads. While generally healthy, overconsumption may cause bloating or digestive discomfort due to their high fiber content. For those looking to boost their nutrient intake, Brussels sprouts make a delicious and heart-healthy choice.
