As I mentioned recently, brussels sprouts are among my favorite vegetables. I'm not really sure how this happened because my mother never prepared them for us when I was growing up. We didn't really have much from the brassica family except for broccoli. But I started eating them a few years ago and i haven't looked back since.
As you would expect, brussels sprouts are low in calories; a cup of steamed sprouts has only about 40 calories but they feel dense to me so I find them to be quite filling. Thay are full of Vitamin C and a have a pretty good amount of vitamin A as well. They (and the rest of the family) are also reported to have cancer fighting ingredients which is just a perk, as far as I'm concerned.
I generally roast my sprouts in a bit of olive oil with just some salt and pepper but I'v elaso enjoyed them steamed with a bit of vinegar on them.
