Brussels Sprouts

Large, tasty buds are a real autumn treat! This very cold-hardy crop is a dependable winter vegetable that can be harvested into late winter. Frost actually improves the delicious nutty flavor. Rich in vitamins. Steam until just tender for a wonderful addition to the menu. Matures in 80-90 days.
