Description: Refrigerate for freshness. Brussels sprouts are a nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them a powerhouse for health. A single cup of cooked Brussels sprouts provides about 56 calories, 4 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and over 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamins C and K, which support immune function and bone health, respectively. They also contain folate, manganese, and antioxidants like glucosinolates, which may reduce inflammation and lower cancer risk. To use Brussels sprouts, rinse and trim the tough ends, then halve or quarter them for roasting, sautéing, or steaming. Roasting at 400°F with olive oil, salt, and pepper for 20-25 minutes brings out their nutty sweetness, while sautéing with garlic or bacon adds flavor. They can also be shredded raw for salads or slaws, offering a crunchy texture and mild, cabbage-like taste. Avoid overcooking to prevent bitterness and retain nutrients.
