Nutritional values

The immune system is delighted: one serving provides about 70 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C and half of the daily requirement of vitamin E. And thanks to the cabbage, the fibre balance is also considerable!

If fresh brussels sprouts are not available at the moment, feel free to use frozen ones. This even saves you cleaning work, because the sprouts only have to thaw before you quarter them and prepare them in the pan as described.
