To stay in the UK and travel around visiting sprouts, cabbages and all members of the brassica family, collecting sprout recipes and sprouty tales along the way. Please take photos of The King with other sprouts if possible. Please indicate in your logs if you love or hate sprouts and do take this TB to visit Mongoose39uk , as he has a definite opinion on sprouts (though perhaps best not to leave The King where Mongers can get his hands on him!)
The Brussels Sprout is The King of vegetables, or perhaps we should say Le Roi since they probably originated in Belgium. Sprouts are amongst the most healthy of vegetables. They are naturally low in fat and calories, but unlike most vegetables, Brussels sprouts are rather high in protein. Brussels sprouts are loaded with vitamin A, folacin, potassium, calcium. Brussels sprouts are very high in fiber, and they belong to the disease-fighting cabbage family. Like fellow cruciferous vegetables, reasearch has shown that brussels sprouts may protect against cancer. Brussels sprouts are also particularly rich in vitamin C, another anti-cancer agent. Whether you choose them for their healthiness or because you love Brussels sprouts, one thing is certain: You will be getting a good-for-the-body food that is high in protein and low in fat and calories.
