⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who wouldn’t hate them?
They’re green.
They’re slimy.
They’re moldy.
They’re horrible.
They’re putrid.
They’re foul

No, I don’t. That was a joke.

WHY WE SHOULD EAT IT:

That stinky smell, cause by sulfur-containing chemicals, is what makes Brussels sprouts so darn good for you. Numerous studies have found that these and other compounds are significantly associated with cancer prevention. Brussels sprouts provide nutrient support for the body’s detoxification system, its antioxidant system, its anti-inflammatory system and its DNA-repair system. Basically, they provide everything you need to ward off cancer. Stop being a hater and learn to love them steamed, not boiled, to retain all their health qualities.
