-Brussels Sprouts.
-Sprouts pieces should be tightly packed, uniform in color, without dark spots or wilting.
-Loaded with Vitamin C to boost your immune system and Vitamin K to help protect your bones.
-The glucosinolates help the body to detoxify, helping to avoid cancer and other diseases.
– An excellent anti-inflammatory vegetable related to cabbage, radishes, cauliflower, and kale.
-The most health benefits are obtained when they are lightly steamed, drained, and served immediately with a little pink himalayan salt.
(Overcooking will destroy the nutrients, consistency, and flavor.)
-Can also lightly cook them on the stove top with a drizzle of avocado oil or coconut oil.
(Don’t forget these healthy fats are needed so you can absorb all that fat-soluble Vitamin K.)
-Or try my Scott’s Slow-Cooked Brussels Sprouts!
-Best to use within one week of purchasing.
(can store in a sealed container or plastic bag if possible, along with a paper towel to absorb moisture.)
-Look for the best deal at your local farmer’s market in the Fall or early Winter.
