Brussels Sprouts:
Nutritional Information |
| |
|
Only about 10 calories each, Brussels Sprouts are low in fat and sodium, high in dietary
fiber and are cholesterol-free. They also contain high levels of naturally occurring
vitamin C and specific health-promoting compounds called glucosinolates with antioxidant
properties, and proven health benefits in the area of cancer prevention. Brussels Sprouts
have three times the level of vitamin C of an orange. Unlike most vegetables, Brussels
Sprouts are rather high in protein, accounting for more than a quarter of their calories.
Four-to-six sprouts contain the adult daily requirements for vitamin C. They’re also
an excellent source of vitamin D and folic acid during pregnancy.
