Brussels Sprouts - 500g

Netherland

When storing Brussels sprouts whole, place them loose in a bowl and cover with a food-safe wrap. Poke a few holes in the wrap and place your bowl in the fridge. Doing this they should last fresh in the fridge for about five days.

Brussels sprouts are a source of fiber to regulate the digestive tract, vitamin A to maintain healthy organ functioning, and vitamin C to strengthen the immune system while reducing inflammation. The sprouts also provide calcium to build strong bones and teeth, vitamin K to assist in faster wound healing, and other nutrients, including copper, folate, selenium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and iron.

500g (approx. 17 Brussels sprouts, depending on the size); loose in paper bag.

Slow roasting the sprouts in oil or butter is a great way to remove the sprout's natural bitterness.

Brussels sprouts can be added to casseroles, gratins or soups.
They can also be tossed into a warm winter greens salad. Pair well with bacon, pork belly, cheese, cream, duck fat, eggs, or ham.
