Like all types of cabbage, Brussels sprouts are also super healthy: they contain a number of vitamins and minerals, for example around 115 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams. That is almost a daily ration and more than any other cabbage. The small cabbages also contain a lot of folic acid for the cells, zinc for beautiful skin and hair, iron for the red blood cells and potassium for drainage.

Fresh Brussels sprouts taste best! The classic winter vegetable is in season from September to January. The heads should be tightly closed, look nice and green and have no yellow or wilted outer leaves. The cut surfaces on the stems should be smooth and light.
