Healthy, because
Brussels sprouts can stimulate our digestion by containing bitter constituents, as more enzymes are produced in the liver and bile. In addition, these substances can soothe an upset stomach.
Even smarter
The nice thing about raclette is that everyone can vary as much as they like. Try raclette with Brussels sprouts with the classic raclette cheese, feta or mountain cheese. Other vegetables such as corn or leek also go well with the sprouts.
