  • Grown as early as the 1200s, Brussel (or Brussels) sprouts originate from the region of Belgium known as Brussels, which is where the name is derived.

    Brought to the United States from France, brussels sprouts were not produced until the 1800s in the United States.

    Brussels sprouts have the appearance of miniature cabbage, and contain many essential vitamins and minerals for humans.
