# Brussels sprout recipes
The brussels sprout comes from the wild cabbage family and cultivated for its small leafy green buds. Brussels sprouts ideally grow in temperatures between 7 - 24°C. Plants tend to be grown from seeds in seed beds and then re-bedded with a harvest ready from 90-180 days after planting.
Although brussels sprouts have a love/hate relationship with the British public they are contain a high amounts of vitamins A and C and folic acid ... and are of course synonomous with Christmas lunch.
There are a large number of brussels sprout seed varieties, including:
