Brussels sprouts are related to other better-known vegetables in the Brassica genus like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. They are part of the cruciferae or mustard family, so known because of a four-part flower in the shape of a cross. Sprouts were believed to have been cultivated in Italy in Roman times, and possibly as early as the 1200s in Belgium. Brussels sprouts are a very good source of many essential vitamins, fibre, folate and they are especially high in Vitamin C.
