Brussel Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are small, round vegetables that look like miniature cabbages. They grow in clusters along a thick stalk and are typically about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Brussels sprouts have tightly packed, green leaves and a slightly nutty, earthy flavor, with a hint of bitterness. When cooked, they become tender and can develop a sweet, caramelized taste, especially when roasted or sautéed.
