We are very excited for this week’s Flower Sprouts. This small brassica is the combination of brussels sprouts and kale, storing all the antioxidants contained in both theses vegetables. It’s quick and easy to prepare! You just need to rinse and trim the stems if necessary, after that they’ll be ready for steaming or stir frying. Use them as a side dish to your main meal or as an ingredient in a broth, casserole or even soup. Just remember to keep this super food refrigerated to maintain its freshness.
