Brussels sprouts have massive amounts of Vitamin K (1 serving =195% of daily value!) and Vitamin C (125%dv). A randomized controlled trial showed that brussels sprouts also aid in detoxification and reducing oxidative DNA damage. ⠀
There are lots of great ways to cook brussels sprouts but be mindful not to overcook and lose the nutritional value. They are also great raw when sliced thinly with a mandolin or food processor and added to a slaw or salad!⠀
