Brussels sprouts belong to the Brassicaceae family and are grown in many areas of the world throughout the year, but especially in central and northern Europe. Being a variety of cabbage, in the early juvenile stages the plant is the same as that of cabbage. Later, during growth, the plant develops a central stem that can reach a meter in height and sprouts develop around the stem.
Brussels sprouts are suitable for various quick and easy preparations. To make them more digestible they should always be blanched in salted water for a few minutes
Sprouts contain a good amount of minerals, proteins, fibers and vitamins. They are real stimulants of brain activity and concentration. They are a mine of antioxidants and for this reason they are considered a useful food in the prevention of cancer.
