    Brussels Sprouts FAQ’s

    How do you take the bitterness out of Brussels sprouts?

    Adding salt helps to take the bitterness out of this vegetable. Somehow salt counteracts the bitterness.

    Add salt when starting to cook them and again before serving.

    Are you supposed to cut off the bottoms of Brussels sprouts?

    Yes, you should slice off the bottom end of Brussels sprouts. Also be sure to remove any wilted or discolored leaves.

    Can you eat Brussels sprouts raw?

    Yes, you absolutely can eat Brussels sprouts raw. In fact, I love this Cranberry Brussels Sprouts Salad recipe!
