As a kid and like most kids I hated Brussel Sprouts. The pungent smell of foot odour that excreted from those little over cooked balls of cabbage made me sick to my stomach. Sorry mum, but back in the 80’s people were non the wiser and cooked the bejeezus  out of their vegetables as that is all they knew and were taught, which explains the odour of these beauties.

Recently  we have become more aware of how eating your vegetables with a still a little crunch and ‘just cooked’ not only tastes better but also has a lot more nutritional benefits. Majority of the health benefits diminish when vegetables are over cooked and that’s a damn shame. Did you know that Brussel Sprouts actually help block the continued growth of cancer? They are truly AMAZEBALLS! (No pun intended)

The rise in ‘Raw foods’ and ‘Clean Eating’ lifestyles have given us more informative approach on this topic making us rethink how we are cooking our vegetables and eating them ‘raw’ can be a healthier alternative. √ Big tick in my book. If you are still wary of the raw foods aspect of these then here is a recipe that is not just healthy for you but also delicious and contains no smelly foot odour…I promise.
