BEST BRUSSELS SPROUTS FOR THANKSGIVING

Are Brussels Sprouts good for you?

Brussels Sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable and contain cancer-protecting compounds, decrease inflammation, and improve blood sugar control.

As well, Brussels sprouts are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet.

Where should Brussels sprouts be stored?

First, remove any yellowed or wilted leave and store fresh, unwashed, and untrimmed Brussels sprouts in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.

If you purchase loose sprouts in a cardboard container covered in cellophane, remove the wrapping and examine the vegetables. Remove any sprouts that are damaged, before re-covering and storing in the crisper.

Avoid washing Brussels sprouts until you’re ready to prepare them, as the moisture can cause decay. Brussels sprouts best when prepared within three to four days of purchase.

How do you roast Brussels sprouts so they are not soggy?

Avoid boiling or steaming Brussels sprouts. Moist heat makes Brussels sprouts soggy and smelly, not good. Instead, roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
