Do you know how
Brussels sprouts got their name? I was curious to learn more about it and I
found out that they are thought to be native to Belgium and its capital
Brussels. The use of this healthy plant spread across Europe during World War
I. I keep on planting baby Brussels sprouts because I want to be sure that I
and my family will have fresh food on our daily menu. Take a look at my tricks
for planting this health beneficial veggie.
Baby Brussels Sprouts Can Be Eaten Raw or Cooked
First You Grow Them
I love growing baby Brussels sprouts
for their mild, sweet cabbage flavor. However, I’m planting them for a more
important reason.
Brussels sprouts provide special
nutrient support for three important body systems: the detox system, the
antioxidant system and the anti-inflammatory system.
Dolores H and Groninger are Brussels sprout varieties that
I grow and they both thrive in well-drained soil and warm, sunny locations.
They have an amazing taste.
Then You Cook Them
I like eating raw, fresh vegetables
whenever I can. But occasionally I do a little cooking as well. My serving
suggestion for baby Brussels sprouts includes cutting them in half and steaming
them until tender.
After they’re cooked, I season them
with salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Yum, yum!
