Brussels Sprouts 1 article

Brussels sprouts are compact leafy buds that grow along a tall Brassica stalk, giving them the appearance of miniature cabbage heads. They are sold whole or trimmed, halved for roasting, shredded for salads or sautés, and also steamed or frozen. High-heat roasting encourages browned, caramelized edges, while overcooking can soften their compact texture substantially. Their bud form is the clearest distinction from cabbage leaves, broccoli florets, and other cruciferous vegetables.
