A little bit about the Sprout

Brussels sprouts are a type of cruciferous vegetable that belong to the same family as cabbage, broccoli, and kale. They are small, green, leafy buds that resemble miniature cabbages. These vegetables are known for their distinctive, slightly bitter flavor.

They are a nutritious addition to your diet, as they are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin K and vitamin C, as well as fiber. They also contain antioxidants and are low in calories.

If you’re interested in cooking with Brussels sprouts, there are various methods to prepare them, such as roasting, sautéing, or even shredding them for salads. They pair well with a variety of flavors and can be seasoned to your preference.

Brussels Sprout History

Brussels sprouts are believed to have originated in what is now modern-day Belgium, near the city of Brussels, which is how they got their name. They are thought to have been cultivated as early as the 13th century.

They were initially grown as a wild cabbage variety, and over time, through selective breeding, farmers developed the Brussels sprouts we are familiar with today. By the 16th century, they were being cultivated in large quantities in Belgium and the surrounding regions.

Brussels sprouts gained popularity in Europe and were introduced to the United States in the 18th century, brought over by French settlers. However, they didn’t become widely popular in the U.S. until the 20th century.

Today, Brussels sprouts are a common vegetable in many parts of the world and are enjoyed in a variety of culinary dishes.
