Brussels Sprouts Seeds

Brussels sprouts are a type of cabbage, where small cabbages form in the axils of the plant. Harvesting is therefore different from ‘normal’ cabbages. Not the whole plant, but the individual small cabbages are harvested from the plant, when they have the right size.

There are early varieties, which can be harvested as early as September, and winter varieties, which can tolerate temperatures as low as -10°C. These can therefore be harvested until far into the winter. Brussels sprouts taste better after a frost. Brussels sprouts are very healthy. They contain all kinds of vitamins, minerals and fiber, as well as a lot of vitamin C.
