The Washington Post••business
Key Points:
- Brussels sprouts have an earthy and slightly bitter flavor and resemble miniature cabbages.
- Negative perceptions of Brussels sprouts often stem from past experiences with overcooked versions.
- In the 1990s, Dutch scientists cross-pollinated older, less bitter varieties with modern high-yield plants to improve taste and quality.
- These efforts have led to Brussels sprouts becoming widely popular and commonly found in restaurants, homes, and snack products.
