About Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts are nutrient-packed vegetables belonging to the Brassica family, closely related to broccoli, kale, and cabbage. Originating from Belgium, they have been a staple of European cuisine for centuries and are now enjoyed worldwide. These tiny, cabbage-like buds are loaded with vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin K, essential for immunity and bone health. Rich in fiber, they support digestion and promote satiety. Brussels sprouts also contain antioxidants such as kaempferol, which may combat inflammation and contribute to overall wellness. Low in calories and fat, they make an excellent addition to balanced diets. However, their sulfur-containing compounds, which impart their distinct taste, can cause bloating in sensitive individuals. Versatile in the kitchen, Brussels sprouts can be roasted, sautéed, or even shredded raw in salads to maximize their health benefits while enjoying their nutty flavor and crisp texture.
