The broccoli and brussels sprouts people USED to get were in cans and were disgusting! But FRESH broccoli, brussels spouts and other cruciferous vegetables are excellent sources of dark leafy vegetables... IF you use the dark leafy exteriors.

Cole slaw is easy to make if you have a cuisinart... If you don't, save up for one. It's a lifesaver!

Add cauliflowers to that and there are green cauliflowers that don't look the color of skulls! Check out the "Christmas trees" neon green version with the Italian name... Charming. ALSO, you can grow them in your garden. I have broccoli that's almost done in mine and if you're not TOO far north, broccoli family vegs can tolerate mild freezes.

AND DONT RUIN THEM WITH LOADS OF CHEESE!!! Eat them au natural with lemon, lime juices, sale and pepper, maybe some spices. They are delicious. Farmer's markets are where you'll find the freshest versions...

I love broccolisss 🥦🥦🥦 it doesn’t matter what people like as long as you like it lol. We all have different taste buds~

Not sure. I love both though! Just not those brussel sprouts that places try to serve with bacon crumbles, they literally kill the sprouts while cooking them. But I love them with Salt & pepper or in a butter sauce. I've never tried sprouts with cheese but I'm sure they taste delicious! Broccoli & cheese is always good, especially if it's in like a chicken casserole type thing. Or veggie lasagna.

FreyaRed · Answer

Those veggies are often slightly bitter. Cold around 3-4C turns this bitterness in sweetness.

matchrestore · Answer

Broccoli I have no idea, but brussels sprouts used that were commercially available in the past were very bitter and unpleasant. New cultivars of brussels sprouts are very delicious, especially when prepared well. People are just used to the old brussels sprouts being... well... horrible... and they don't know that the new ones are way better.

Because it gives your pee and crap a worse smell than it already has?  SORRY MA, DIDN'T LIKE THE BROCCOLI AND SPROUTS. BROC-E-COLI DIDN'T HELP EITHER.

jshm2 · Answer

They aren't.  It's just a trope taken from children books.

strateguy632 · Answer
