Storage Tips
- Keep Brussel Sprouts unwashed in a plastic bag (keep longer on the stalk).
- Best if eaten fresh but will last up to one week.
Culinary Tips
- Remove any damaged out leaves, trim the base & cut a crosshatch in the core to allow for even cooking.
- For steaming, the smaller sprouts will take 5-8 min. & the large ones 8-10 min. Test with the point of a knife, they should be tender but retain a slight crunch. If steamed too long the sprouts will turn grey.
- If you are not eating the cooked sprouts right away, cool them off immediately to preserve their color & texture.
- Season the steamed sprouts with lemon juice, butter, pepper, or parsley.
- Sprouts can be steamed until barely tender and then halved lenghtwise & sautéd.
- Leftover sprouts are a nice addition to stir-fries.
