Brussels sprouts are probably not on the list of most people's favorite food. But when they are roasted or pan-fried with herbs they are delicious. Brussels sprouts are also high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They fall into the category of cruciferous vegetables or relating to or denoting plants of the cabbage family (Brassicaceae, formerly Cruciferae). Of course, there are very few foods that I will not eat or at least tolerate, but Brussels sprouts do not fall into the toleration category. I actually like them.
We have recently added another cruciferous vegetable to our diet; curly kale. However, I am not yet into eating turnips.
