Recipe Tip

How to find the best brussels sprouts:

To find the best brussels sprouts, look for ones that are bright green, firm, and have tightly packed leaves. Choose smaller, compact sprouts, as they are usually more tender. Avoid any that are yellow, brown, or have soft spots. Store sprouts in the fridge in a ventilated bag for best results.
