For a lot of people, Brussels sprouts get quite a reaction – either positive or negative. It seems like either you love ‘em or you hate ‘em. As a child, I never had them growing up but they were the vegetable that – just by mentioning, it brought a lookof distain to most kids’ faces.
Now as an adult, I’m starting to wonder why there is so much negativity about this vegetable. They are delicious, and there are so many ways to prepare them. But one word of advice – make sure you don’t overcook them. When they are overcooked, they release a compound called sinigrin, which creates a sulpher smell. This just may be why many children don’t like this vegetable!!
