Brussels Sprout Tips

Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables.  They are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.   Below are a few tips for picking and storing this under utilized vegetable.

Tip 1.  Pick small firm Brussels Sprouts that are bright green in color without yellow or wilted leaves. 

Tip 2.  Choose sprouts that are approximately the same size, so they will cook uniformly. 

Tip 3.  Store them in the refrigerator crisper in a plastic bag. 


My new cookbook is available at schools, businesses, hospitals, and book fairs in cities across the United States.  Be sure to pick up a copy or two, when you see them.  They make great gifts!

Check back on Friday,
for my Roasted Brussels Sprout recipe!

    Brussels Sprouts are a great vegetable. There are some people that don't care for them. But I like them. Have a great week.

    They're not my fave, but earlier today a neighbor was telling me how good they are roasted. I will be buying them now and thanks for the tips on how to buy!
