The Brussels sprouts
Brussels sprouts is a green vegetable that looks like a mini-cabbage and have a diameter of about 1 inch. Brussels sprouts grow in bunches of 20 - 40 on a stem.
Brussels sprouts is a nutritious vegetable that will fill you up, without filling you out.
Perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts have a crisp, dense texture, bright green color and slightly sweet taste.
Try it!

My favorite Brussels sprouts dish is slice or whole, steamed, grilled, or baked, with a variety of spices, fresh garlic, with extra virgin olive oil on top of red or regular quinoa or black rice with steamed asparagus and roasted beets.
