What it is
These are pre-portioned Brussels sprouts that have been flash-frozen to preserve their freshness and texture. They are designed for quick and convenient preparation, making it easy to add a serving of vegetables to any meal. The freezing process helps maintain the natural flavor and vibrant green color of the sprouts, ensuring a good eating experience.

To prepare, simply place the frozen Brussels sprouts in a microwave-safe dish with a tablespoon or two of water. Cover the dish loosely and microwave on high power for about 4-6 minutes, or until tender.
