BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Brussels Sprouts are members of the cabbage family, a close relative of cabbage.

The total annual production of Brussels sprouts in the U.S. is almost 70 million pounds.

Brussels Sprouts were first grown in quantity around Brussels, Belgium during the 16th century, hence the name.

Brussels sprouts are very popular in Great Britain - they grow about six times as many of them as the U.S.

Brussels sprouts are high in fiber carbohydrates, low sodium, fat free, and are a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium and iron.
