Brussels Sprouts

Well-known for their stellar nutritional profile, Brussels sprout consumption continues to increase as more consumers across the country recognize their sweet, nutty flavor and versatility. Brussels sprouts pack a powerful punch of antioxidants and contain several phytonutrients that studies have shown to fight cancer. They look like little cabbages and although they aren’t really cabbage they are actually part of the same plant family.

Crystal Valley Brussels sprouts are available from Guatemala from October through February and from Mexico, February through June.
