Brussels sproutsVL

Brussels sprouts are a type of cruciferous vegetable that originated in Belgium and are now commonly consumed worldwide, including in India. These small, cabbage-like green buds grow on a stalk and are harvested while still immature. They can be eaten raw in salads or cooked by steaming, boiling, or roasting.

This vegetable is notable for its crisp texture and slightly pungent, nutty flavor when raw, which mellows upon cooking. Brussels sprouts provide several important nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate, which support various bodily functions. They are low in calories and fats while containing dietary fiber that aids in digestion. Being a plant food, they contain no vitamin B12 or vitamin D.
