This vegetable bursts with nutrition; I
don’t even know where to start with my praise. This mini cabbages top the nutrition charts
in many regards. They deliver more glucosinulates than any other
cruciferous vegetable. Glucosinolates are phytonutrients that our bodies
use to produce a variety of cancer-protective substances.
They also deliver a huge amount of vitamins and minerals. One cup of Brussels sprouts has more than double the amount of vitamin K you need daily and more than your daily need of vitamin C. Vitamin K is important for healthy bones and proper blood clotting. It also has serious amounts of folate, manganese, vitamin B6 and other minerals and vitamins.
The origins of Brussels can be traced back to the 16th century to a region near Brussels, hence the name. During World War I this vegetable spread throughout Europe. Nowadays, they are cultivated everywhere.
