    Tips for Buying Brussels Sprouts

    • Color: When shopping for brussels sprouts, look for the ones that have bright green leaves without any browning or yellowing.
    • Shape and size: The leaves on Brussels sprouts should be tight and snug against one another. For a sweeter flavor, you should look for smaller Brussels sprouts because the larger they are, the more bitter they can be.
    • Packaging: Avoid packages of Brussels sprouts that have moisture. Brussels sprouts that cannot breathe will sweat and create moisture. The moisture can create mold and you don't want that.
    • Trim the stem: Before cooking Brussels sprouts, trim the woody ends, leaving the sprout itself in place.
    • Dry them: After you wash them, lay them out on paper towels until they are completely dry. This is especially beneficial if you're wanting to roast them nice and crispy.
