This delightful and nutrition-rich vegetable may look like cabbage, but has a denser texture and milder flavor. One of the few vegetables to originate in northern Europe, Brussels sprouts got their name from being cultivated near the Belgian capital in the late 16th century. After World War I, cultivation grew throughout Europe. They’re still hugely popular in Great Britain, where some consider it the national vegetable.
Growing &Harvest |
Our Brussels sprouts are grown year round in California and Mexico. Both locations provide the perfect growing conditions for these delicious, bite-size gems. Brussels sprouts plants grow two to three feet tall with stalks that produce 20 to 40 bulbs each. Our expert harvesters hand “pick” each sprout from their tall stalks which are then sorted by size on our state-of-the-art harvesting equipment. Watch this harvest video to learn more! |
