🌱🇬🇧 Fresh British Brussels Sprouts – Firm, Nutty & Seasonal

Our Fresh British Firm Brussels Sprouts are a traditional seasonal favourite with tightly packed green leaves, a satisfying bite and a distinctive fresh, earthy flavour.

Cook them carefully and Brussels Sprouts become wonderfully tender with a mild, gently nutty character. Roasting is particularly good, developing sweeter caramelised edges while keeping the centres tender.

They’re fantastic with Sunday roasts, brilliant alongside Christmas dinner and equally delicious sautéed with garlic, tossed with bacon and chestnuts or finely shredded into winter salads.

Our Fresh British Firm Brussels Sprouts are carefully selected for freshness, colour and quality.

Fresh. Firm. Nutty. A proper seasonal British favourite. 🌱🇬🇧

🔪 How to Prepare Fresh British Brussels Sprouts

3. Rinse thoroughly under cool running water.
4. Leave smaller Sprouts whole.
5. Halve larger Sprouts for more even cooking.
6. Cook until just tender.

🌱 Preparation Tip

There’s generally no need to cut a cross into the bottom of each Brussels Sprout.

For roasting, halve larger Sprouts and place the flat cut side against the baking tray.
