Selection

Good quality Brussels sprouts are firm, compact and vivid green. They should be free of yellowed or wilted leaves and should not be puffy or soft in texture. 

Storage

Keep unwashed and untrimmed Brussels sprouts in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. Stored in a plastic bag, they can be kept for ten days. 

Nutrition

Rich in cancer-protective substances. All cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates and have great health benefits for this reason. 

Kitchen Tip

Can Brussels sprouts be eaten raw? Absolutely, though you may not enjoy eating them raw and whole. Brussels sprouts are a very tasty addition to any salad– simply trim the fibrous end and remove any outer leaves that are discolored, then thinly slice each sprout, using a sharp knife or mandolin.
