Description

Brussels Sprouts are comprised of layers of tightly-packed leaves. The outer leaves range in color from green to dark green with faint spots of yellow and white at the base and have a smooth and pliable consistency. Raw baby Brussels Sprouts have a crisp, crunchy, and firm texture and are distinctly sweeter, lacking the astringency and bitterness often found in larger sprouts. They have nutty, earthy, and vegetal nuances. When cooked, they will soften into a tender and slightly chewy consistency and develop mellow, savory, sweet, and nutty undertones.

Brussels Sprouts are a source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and provide calcium and other nutrients, including copper, folate, selenium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and iron.
