Brussels sprouts
(Brassica oleracea)
The Brussels sprout is another one from the Brassica oleracea family and they look like teeny tiny cabbages. They are a definite love or hate vegetable, I have to admit it…I love them, they are especially good in risotto or raw sliced thinly in coleslaw or sproutslaw as we call it in our house.
The tale of the humble Brussels sprout is one of stability, endurance and protection so eat ‘em up for all of those magical energies.
