There is a storm being raged in the wholefoods world as we speak. Are brussel sprouts part of the cruciferous or the brassica family of vegetables? There is debate over what the correct name is. I prefer the name cruciferous for no other reason other than it sounds fantastic. Imagine saying that at volume when walking down the fruit and vege aisle at Countdown? Thats the kind of thing that gets you noticed. The one thing that we know for sure is that the vegetables within this family – cauliflower, kale, cabbage, radishes – are super healthy, super good for you, reduce stress and lower your risk of developing cancer. So I say – get amongst it people! It used to be that just the thought of brussel sprouts would make me gag and cauliflower only tolerated when covered in cheese sauce. But these recipes have changed it all for me. Delicious as a side or heated up the next day for lunch.
