Fun Facts about Brussels Sprouts

❓Did you know this fun fact?! …

🤓 Brussels sprouts are native to the Mediterranean (along with other types of cabbage), not Belgium.

💡In the 1200s they began growing them near Brussels, Belgium, which is where they got their name.

✅ I recommend giving them a try, even if you didn’t like them as a kid. Their nutrition power makes them a great addition to your regular diet.

🔥Brussels sprouts contain kaempferol, which appears to promote heart health and cut cancer risk.

💪 They also are a rich source of vitamin K, which helps with blood clotting and bone health.

Brussel Sprouts also promote stable blood sugar and are a good source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids.

Cabbage was on sale at my local grocer last week, so I’ve been including it in a lot of different meals. It has been fun experimenting with new recipes and simple ideas using cabbage.

My weekly meal planning is completely decided by whatever I find ON SALE. This way, we’re always consuming an abundance of fresh produce while keeping our family budget in check.

Cabbage is a very underrated vegetable.
It’s very LOW in calories, HIGH in nutrients and fiber. Definitely, a vegetable that we could all be eating more of!

In terms of price per cup, a report by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) has shown cabbage to be the second most economical vegetable in terms of price per edible cup. Yes! Grab some fresh cabbage next time you’re out & about!

Many people don’t know what a powerhouse of a food cabbage really is. I’ve been eating it on the regular for the past 15 years…. added to soups, roasted, and shredded into recipes like this 😍 I’m pretty obsessed – so here’s your gentle nudge to eat more cabbage.

How to make Apple Brussels Sprouts Coleslaw:

Taste test and adjust if desired.

In a large bowl combine your shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, and Brussels sprouts.

Quickly chop your apple then immediately toss it with the fresh lemon juice, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.

Drizzle the dressing over everything then toss well to coat.
