Brussels Sprouts

The Brussels Sprout is a compact vegetable that resembles cabbage and is grown in dense bunches on a robust central stem. As far as plant families go, it belongs to the same category as cabbages, broccoli, kale, and cauliflowers - which are notorious for their nutrition and strong taste. And sure enough, it bears all the traits that you might associate with this particular family: solid, layered, deep green, and heavy. There's always been a misconception about Brussels sprouts, but most of it stems from ignorance. Overcooked and mushy, the sprouts taste awful. However, once you try them prepared right, you'll realize how delicious they actually are! Whether you're roasting them and making a nice golden caramelization appear where they've been cut open, or shaving them up raw to add a layer of texture to your salads – Brussels sprouts are nutty, somewhat sweet and extremely savoury. This vegetable has become a very exciting thing for Indian homemakers to explore. Not only do they spice up really well, but also maintain their form after being cooked with heat and deliver a certain meatiness that other greens don't have.
