About Spruitjes
Spruitjes, known as Brussels sprouts in English, are small, leafy green vegetables from the cruciferous family, closely related to cabbage. Originally cultivated in Belgium, they are a staple in European cuisine and increasingly popular worldwide. Packed with nutrients, spruitjes are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. They also contain glucosinolates, compounds thought to support detoxification and cancer prevention. Low in calories yet rich in nutrients, they make a heart-healthy addition to meals. However, while their unique, slightly bitter flavor appeals to many, overcooking them can release sulfur compounds that produce a strong smell and affect taste. Best enjoyed roasted, steamed, or sautéed, spruitjes are a versatile ingredient for salads, side dishes, and mains. Their high fiber content supports digestion, while their antioxidants help combat inflammation, making them a nutritious choice for overall health.
