Description/Taste
Brussel sprouts grow on upright, thick, and fibrous green stalks with a cylindrical nature. The buds are often nestled between the leafy branches and grow directly from the stalk, giving the plant a distinct, knobby appearance. Each sprout averages 1.5 to 4 centimeters in diameter and has an oval to round, curved, compact shape with slight tapering toward the stem end. The sprouts are comprised of layers of tightly packed leaves, forming a dense bud with little to no air pockets. The outer leaves range in color from light green to dark green with a white base and have a smooth and pliable consistency. The interior leaves vary in pale yellow, white, to pale green hues. Raw Brussels sprouts have a crisp, crunchy, and firm texture and should be fresh, tight, and springy when selected for culinary use. The sprouts can be eaten raw and have an earthy, vegetal, subtly sweet, and slightly bitter taste. When cooked, the sprouts develop mellow, savory, sweet, and nutty undertones.
