Brussels sprouts

A member of the cruciferous family of vegetables, Brussels sprouts rank among the super foods for good health. High in fiber, Brussels sprouts help lower cholesterol levels by binding to bile acids in your digestive tract. Brussels sprouts contain a compound that naturally converts to sulforaphane, which has cancer preventing properties. This compound may protect against cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and effects of aging.
