Brussels sprouts grow in a spiral along a single tall stalk and take their name from the Brussels area where they became popular in the 16th century.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
