Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts are a strange looking vegetable from the Brassica family which also includes kale, broccoli, and collard greens.  Not only are they full of great nutrients and protein, but full of anti-oxidants which can protect against cancer.  These are super easy to cook and often very cheap when purchased from a local farmer.  They grow on a stock as shown above.
