Brussels sprouts, small green vegetables resembling miniature cabbages, are a nutrient-dense food originating from the Mediterranean region and widely cultivated in Europe. Common in both European and American cuisines, they are often roasted, steamed, or sautéed and feature a naturally earthy, slightly nutty flavor. Packed with essential nutrients, Brussels sprouts are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants like kaempferol. These compounds support immune health, bone strength, digestion, and may reduce inflammation. They are also a good source of folate and manganese, promoting cellular health and energy metabolism. Low in calories yet high in nutrients, they are often recommended for heart-health-focused and weight-conscious diets. While generally healthy, overconsumption can lead to bloating due to their natural sulfur content. Versatile and easy to prepare, Brussels sprouts are a powerhouse addition to any meal plan.
