Brussels sprouts - healthy side dish

Brussels sprouts belong to the cabbage family and form small heads on a thick stalk. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, K, and folic acid. The slightly bitter flavor can be mellowed by roasting or sauteing at high heat, which gives them a pleasant caramelization. They are great in salads, baked dishes, and as a standalone side dish.

Brussels sprouts originate from Belgium, where they have been cultivated since the 13th century.
One serving contains more vitamin C than an orange.
Roasting at high temperature gives them a sweeter, nuttier flavor.
A single stalk produces 20 to 40 miniature heads.
