Brussels sprouts - 5 foods to buy in November Web exclusive, November 2011

Brussels sprouts

This vegetable may not have been your favourite thing to eat as a child, but it's an excellent source of vitamin C, which makes it a great food to include in your diet during the cold and flu season. A cruciferous vegetable, Brussels sprouts are packed with anti-cancer compounds which flush out carcinogens and may also help prevent tumour growth.

 

Brussels sprouts are low in calories, too! One serving (about 1/2 cup cooked) contains only 32 calories. According to Foodland Ontario, the smallest ones in size are said to have the best flavour.

Brussels sprouts are tasty and also beneficial for shifting from potentially harmful estrogen compounds to protective estrogens. Yet another reason to enjoy! www.drproulx.com

Sounds very healthy. But gosh, isn't there something I can eat in November that might be a llittle more satisfying?
