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.

Getting hit by some spam above, huh? Wipe it out.
ReplyDeleteI love Caramelized Brussel Sprouts with Pecans. Yum! They are one of my fave veggie too! And I love how they grow.
You know, I just learned what chickpea pods look like. LOL. I just buy them in the can. But the grocery store had fresh chickpea in the produce aisle. Hate to depod them all!
