Brussels Sprouts
A very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Thiamine, Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium and Manganese. One cup of raw Brussels Sprouts contains 125% of the Daily Value of Vitamin C and 195% of the Daily Value of Vitamin K. When boiled, Vitamin C drops to just 22% and Vitamin K to 37%.
Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Do not over cook Brussels Sprouts. Most recipes call for boiling or braising them for no more than 8 minutes and roasting about 30 minutes. Like cabbage, if the outer leaves are looking a bit tired just remove them to reveal the fresh leaves below. To prepare, remove the outer layer of the Brussels sprouts, if needed, and soak in water with a bit of lemon or vinegar to remove soil and any insects. Before cooking large sprouts, cut an X in the bottom to promote even cooking. Brussels Sprouts can be frozen by simply blanching for 3-5 minutes, cooling immediately in ice water, draining, then placing in a bag.
