The Brussels sprout is a member of Gemmifera group of cabbages, grown for it edible buds. The leafy green vegetables looks like miniature cabbages. Everytime when I go for provisions shopping I used to cross this beautiful Brussels. But I never heard of it or tasted it. So I always skip this veggie until I had this as a salad in my friend's place. Woww....it was too good. I never knew that she added this Brussels sprout. I just loved it. Last week when I was making a list for provisions this was the first veggie :-) It was too good and healthy. I read its benefits when I was surfing the net and yes these are rich in many valuable nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. They are a very good source of numerous nutrients including folate, manganese, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, choline, copper, vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus and omega -3 fatty acids. So....why are you waiting still...Try adding Brussels sprout in your diet and stay healthy.

TIPS:
Adding cooking oil or olive oil is up to your choice.
Green chilli paste or chopped green chilli can be added instead pepper. I did not add green chillies coz of it's same color and kids may eat unknowingly.
Red chilli powder can be added instead pepper powder.
Add carrots and corn too.
