About Brussels sprouts
Brussels sprouts are the compact edible buds of a cultivated brassica, growing along a tall stem. The small round heads are usually green, with tightly layered leaves and a crisp, dense raw texture; cooked sprouts become tender and have a distinctive cabbage-like flavour that can be mildly bitter.
They are commonly cooked whole or halved by roasting, steaming, boiling, or sautéing, and are also sold frozen. Size, trimming, freshness, and cooking method affect their texture and flavour; older or overcooked sprouts may taste stronger.
