| The poor underrated brussels sprouts…
While other vegetables bask in the glory with the latest trends, the brussels sprout has been providing reliable nourishment to humankind since the Roman days and first noted in 1200 BC. It gets its name most likely from its first recorded origin in Brussels Belgium but don’t let that obvious fact supersede the great value these small little cabbages provide. Brussels sprouts are rich in many valuable nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. They are also a very good source of folate, manganese, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, choline, copper, vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus and omega-3 fatty acids. But wait there’s more! They are also a good source of iron, vitamin B2, protein, magnesium, pantothenic acid, vitamin A, niacin, calcium and zinc. The health benefits of brussels sprouts include improving bone health, skin health, lower cholesterol, balance hormone levels, improve digestion, reduce oxidative stress, decrease the risk of obesity and diabetes, protect the heart, reduce inflammation, aid the immune system, and increase circulation, among others!!! |
