Brussels Sprouts

They look like tiny cabbages, but don't let them fool you - there's more to brussels sprouts than that. Many people steam or boil them, but this month we'll show you how tasty this vegetable can be when done right.



Brussels sprouts are common in grocery stores and pack a nutritional punch, especially with vitamin C. They grow well in colder climates too, so watch for them locally. You might even find them still on the stalk. They aren't as low carb as some other vegetables, however, and are only allowed occasionally on Phase 1.

What do I do with them?

Stay tuned this month for our recipes with raw and cooked brussels sprouts. If you do enjoy them, be careful not to overcook them. They will get smelly when cooked for too long, particularly if you're boiling them.
