Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are small, leafy green vegetables that belong to the brassica family, which also includes kale and cabbage. Originating in Belgium, they have been cultivated for centuries and are now enjoyed worldwide, particularly in autumn and winter. Their flavor is robust and slightly bitter with a subtle sweetness that develops when cooked. Brussels sprouts have a firm texture when raw, turning tender yet maintaining a satisfying crunch when properly cooked. In the kitchen, they are versatile and can be roasted, sautéed, steamed, or even grilled, browning nicely to enhance their natural sugars and creating a delightful caramelized exterior.
