Brussel sprouts contain a wealth of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein. They can be flavorfully combined to share the center, not just the side, of a dish.

Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. I often cook mine with a little apple cider vinegar, so I know the apple combination is good. And with pork? Perfection.
