BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Brussels Sprouts (Sprouts) are one of the cultivated varieties of cabbage (Brassica oleracea). They have an elongated stem which grows to about 150 centimetres high with small clustered green heads like miniature cabbages. They get their name from being cultivated in great numbers near Brussels since 1213.
