Nutritional values

Brussels sprouts contain - besides plenty of vitamin C - so much vitamin B6 that almost your entire daily requirement and that of your child is covered. This B vitamin is important for good nerves and concentration. The brussels sprouts and potatoes add fiber to the dish, which is long-lasting and satiating and is also good for our intestines.

When your child is older, you no longer need to puree the florets; simply add the cream cheese. You could also serve an herb cottage cheese with the Brussels sprouts puree with sesame potatoes.
