Brussel Sprouts 1lb

Brussels sprouts - cabbage's delicious little cousin! This delightful and nutrition-rich vegetable may look like a little cabbage (it's from the same botanical family), but its flavor is milder and its texture denser. Brussels sprouts happen to pack a potent nutritional punch. As a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, Brussels sprouts contain significant amounts of antioxidants, vitamin C and beta-carotene (vitamin A), and nitrogen compounds, which may reduce the risk of certain cancers.Unlike most vegetables, Brussels sprouts are rather high in protein, accounting for more than a quarter of their calories. Four-to-six sprouts contain the adult daily requirements for vitamin C.
