Love ‘em or not, there’s no denying Brussels sprouts are great for you. They’re loaded with nutrients including vitamin C and vitamin K. So why do folks claim a distaste for this tasty little veggie? It’s likely due to overcooking, which causes a strong sulfur-like flavor.
Look for Brussels sprouts with tightly closed green leaves. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to a week and a half.
