Brussels Sprouts Health Benefits

I too love Brussels Sprouts and have been promoting them for years. It's nice to meet somebody else who loves them as much as me. I always told everyone, they are good for you.

I make brussels sprouts for most every family get together, our youngest son loves them. Good information. Voted up.

My husband loved his green veggies. He ate a couple of large portions per day. He was taken to hospital breathless and eventually was diagnosed with clots on both lungs. Had the doctor not realised he was ill and not sent him to hospital he would have been dead the next day! He is now on warfarin for life. A dose of 11mg per day. His blood is now stable; he rarely eats any green veggies now. Maybe once a week he will have kale, broccoli or cabbage.

I love them with salt and butter.

I have always loved Brussels sprouts since one of our neighbors brought us some from her garden when I was about 11. They're one of my favorite vegetables. I like them steamed with just a little butter, but your recipes here look yummy too!

Now I have to have brussels sprouts. These recipes look so good. I love the caramelized recipe. Oh I love them all! We have not had brussels sprouts in a long time. I will pick up some today. Thanks for the heath information and the recipes. My vote is YUM.

Hi Rajan,

It is obvious that you really take time to prepare your hubs, they are well informing and the write up is well organized. I didn't know Brussels sprouts can be frozen for more benefits. Great article, voted up and shared.

Love all of the suggestion. Brussels sprouts are so tasty and awesome. Thank you.

Like brussels, Rajan, just find them a bit bitter! But they're chock full of benefits, as this comprehensive hub well outlines. I share this as well!

I am trying to serve more brussels sprouts at our meals and am always looking for a variety of ways to serve them. Thanks for the great ideas.

Smaller sprouts are tastier and i love to have it in roasted form with salt and olive oil or as steamed form. Thanks for sharing the health benefits of brussels sprouts. Voted and shared.

Hi Rajan,

I like brussels sprouts steamed. I did not know that they should be left to sit for five minutes before steaming.

I thought of my dad when I read your hub. He was not a big vegetable eater but he loved brussels sprouts. :)

Voted up and awesome

Lots of good information. I usually buy my sprouts frozen and microwave, then add a few italian mix herbs to season.

Another interesting and informative hub. Now we're talking about one of my absolutely favorite little round green veggies. Love these. Thanks for the additional information and passing this on.

I love Brussel sprouts. Thanks for the reminder to get some soon and cook them up. I knew they were nutritious but WOW! What a lone list!

We actually cook these a lot -- my favorite way is broiling them with a bit of garlic. Gives them a slight crisp and makes them delicious. Voting this Up and Useful. SHARED.

Thank you for this hub, rajan. I absolutely LOVE brussel sprouts, fresh or frozen. This was very helpful to me regarding medicinal value, some of which I was not aware, and cooking methods. I will keep these points in mind. Voted up and useful. The pics are gorgeous and thanks for the divider link.

I love brussel sprouts and always knew they, like most green vegetables, are healthy but never realize just how healthy. Thanks for bringing all their benefits to light. My children loved them when they were little but by the time they became teenagers they would not touch them and as adults they have not changed their opinion....LOL. I have always loved them. The pictures of the recipes look great...will have to give them a try.

omg, the roasted Brussels sprouts looked heavenly! Thank you for all the useful information and the amazing recipes, Rajan. Voted up and shared.

I love these little suckers. I think I am going to try Brussels Sprouts the Indian way. I usually eat them lightly boiled, steamed, or roasted. Thanks for devoting a hub to one of my favorite veggies.

Another very informative hub. These are a great vegetable to include in your diet. It is just a shame that they cause many people 'unpleasant side effects' lol ... some just seem to be able to clear a room very quickly after eating these healthy vegetables.

Shared, up and useful.

I am crazy for Brussels sprouts. I love the first YouTube recipe. Thanks for a wonderful and salivations hub.

Brussel sprouts have a bad reputation, which led me to avoid them for most of my life. However, I tried them for the first time about a month ago. They were great! I will be eating these healthy little nuggets a lot more often. Great hub. Voted up and sharing.

Great information on brussel sprouts. I need to try out this vegetable. Well written.

thanks Rajan, I know it's not an easy answer, I just wanted your opinion.

Thank you for your wonderful hubs and hard work in research!

Awesome hub! We just had some Brussel Sprouts from our local farmers market, and I was wondering how nutritious they really are...now I know! They pack a lot of good value for such tiny things. We steamed them, and unlike perrya, I love the smell of them. Probably because I grew up smelling cabbage rolls as a kid and I am familiar with that scent for holidays and fun times.

I never cared for brussel sprouts, but my mom loves them a lot. Maybe I should give brussel sprouts another chance. Thanks for sharing, Rajan! Sharing this across twitter and the like.

Hello Rajan! I had no idea that brussel sprouts were so good for you. I hated them as a kid, now I love them. Rajan, how much healthy fat do you think the average person needs daily. When I say healthy, I mean from lean sources, like cold water fish, avocados, small handful of nuts.

Rajan -

Great presentation, but I can't handle this vegetable. The taste is simply not to my liking at all. Great job of providing all the vital information and benefits. The video had me laughing. This person obviously has way too much money considering the home and kitchen size and appliances. Great Hub!

I love Brussel's Sprouts! And some wonderful ideas here about what to do with them

I do not like brussel sprouts, but after reading your hub I will try eating them. Very useful hub. All your hubs are very useful and gives a lot of information that benefits everyone specially in the health point of view. Thanks for sharing such valuable information.

Rajan, this is an excellent and well-researched hub about brussels sprouts health benefits. I LOVE brussels sprouts!

I have always loved Brussels sprouts..I haven't had them in a while but they really are the perfect diet food- no fat, filling and they taste good just by themselves.. at least in my opinion. I would usually eat the steamed. I've never tried them braised like described in your hub... but it sounds yummy. Thank you for sharing. Voting up and useful :)

You always have the most informative hubs. I learned a lot about the benefits of brussel sprouts. But, I never knew that brussel sprouts could cause swelling of the thyroid gland in some people. That's something good to know. As a child I could barely stand to eat brussel sprouts. Now, as an adult, they are one of my favorite vegetables. I simply must try the caramelized brussel sprouts. Thank you for the recipes.

Love them. But they so stink when cooking.

We just harvested ours out of our garden....great crop this year. Finally I know something about one of your hubs. Thanks for the great information about health benefits. I'll remember that while I'm eating our sprouts.

Have a great weekend my friend!

I love brussel spouts but I learned a lot about them in this hub. The Indian recipe looks delicious and I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for good information and a new recipe!

We eat these little gems often. I usually like veggies very crunchy but these do taste better with a little more cooking. I knew they had tons of vitamins but they are really healthful . Thanks for sharing all this information. I always enjoy reading your hubs. Voting UP.
