โ“Did you know this fun fact?! …

๐Ÿค“ Brussels sprouts didnโ€™t actually originate in Belgium! They are native to the Mediterranean (along with other types of cabbage). 

๐Ÿ’กBut in the 1200s they were grown near Brussels, Belgium, which is where they got their name.

โœ… If you turned up your nose at Brussels sprouts as a kid, definitely give them a try again โ€“ their nutrition power makes them a great addition to your regular rotation.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Low in calories and high in anti-inflammatory compounds, Brussels sprouts containย kaempferol, which appears to promote heart health and cut cancer risk.ย 

๐Ÿ’ช They also are a rich source of vitamin K, which helps with blood clotting and bone health.

PLUS โ€ฆ they promote stable blood sugar and are a good source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which supports brain health, fights insulin resistance, and may improve triglyceride levels.

๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿณ Tip: Try them roasted. So delicious! Toss them on salads, eat them as a side dish, or add them to casseroles.
