January 31 is Eat Brussels Sprouts Day, an international holiday that celebrates this little vegetable that has never been more popular than it is now.
Brussels sprouts are among the healthiest foods on earth, packing a powerful punch of nutrients that promote healthy skin, vision and bones. They’re low in calories and sodium, rich in soluble fiber and vitamins A and C.
Besides being an important part of any healthy diet, Brussels sprouts can be enjoyed in many delicious ways. Try roasting Brussels sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic for a flavorful side dish that highlights their crunchy-sweet flavor. Or try adding them to soups or stir fries for pop of color and texture.
If you’re feeling adventurous, wrap halved Brussels sprouts in bacon before baking — it’s one way this vegetable will definitely have you coming back for seconds! No matter how you choose to celebrate Eat Brussels Sprout Day – enjoy remembering just how nutritious these little veggies truly are!
