Chef's Notes

  • Brussels Sprouts are part of the cruciferous family of veggies, along with broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and kale.  They're called cruciferous (meaning cross-bearing in Latin) because their flowers all have a cross-like shape.  Vitamins K and C and fiber are the star nutrients in this vegetable. In fact, one serving of Brussels Sprouts has almost 100% of your daily needs for vitamin K, a nutrient important for normal blood clotting.
