Description

Frozen Brussels sprouts are small cruciferous vegetables that belong to the cabbage family, with a slightly sweet flavor and a characteristic bitter note. These mini cabbages have a firm texture and are ideal for various culinary preparations, such as stir-fries, stews, roasting, or steaming.

The origin of Brussels sprouts dates back to Europe, specifically to Belgium, around the 16th century, where they were first cultivated in the surroundings of Brussels, hence their name. Today, they are produced and consumed all over the world.

Frozen Brussels sprouts retain a large part of their nutrients, among which their high content of fiber, vitamins C and K, as well as antioxidants and minerals like folate and calcium, stand out. They are an excellent option to include in healthy diets, aiding digestion and the immune system.

In different Hispanic American countries, Brussels sprouts are also known as miniature cabbage, little cabbages, or simply Brussels sprouts. Although the term varies, their use in the kitchen is very similar, being a versatile and nutritious ingredient for multiple recipes.
