Brussels Sprouts are in Season!





Good Day Everyone! 


It's fall and so many wonderful things are in season. Boots, Faux fur, Pumpkin everything and Brussels Sprouts (yum!)

These little balls of tastiness are almost perfect! Except for one thing. The way they're spelled/pronounced. I literally do not say Brusselsssssss , <--- Focus on the "S" at the end of brussels. I pronounce them as Brussel, no "s" at the end. Whatever I don't care. I don't like the "s" at the end of Brussels so I just leave him out. 

So besides the way they are pronounced, they are perfect. They're easy to cook, yummy to taste and filled with nutrition. 

10      N U T R I T I O N A L    F A C T S :  

1. Vitamin C (way more than most fruits)

2. Beta Carotene - Great for your eye health 

3. Vitamin K- keeps your blood running smoothly in your system, 
no blood clots, 
yay!

4. Folic Acid- helps body produce new healthy cells 

5. rich in fiber- oh yah. 

6. Iron- for cellular oxidation ( great for anemic patients) 

7. Manganese- controls blood sugar 

8. Sulforaphane- Cancer Fighting Properties

9. Low in calories 

10.  Low grams in fat. 


P R E P E R A T I O N: 
There are so many different ways to prepare Brussels Sprouts, and to be perfectly honest, I like my oven. I like to keep the heat as low as possible and I don't like to burn them. Still a little hard is all right with me. 

There are 5 steps and that is it

Step 1- WASH! SO IMPORTANT! 



Step 2- Add oil and seasoning 
(I add coconut oil, pepper,garlic powder)


Step 3- Cut stems off, cut in half and add to a
baking tray



Step 4- Put in oven at 300 degree for 20 minutes 



Step 5-  I'll add raw olive oil, a side of organic ketchup and EAT away. 











Hope you enjoy!
