Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts

Published: Apr 1, 2015 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Nature's bounty, pure and simple. Lightly steamed and seasoned Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts. A little sweeter and less pungent than the big green ones! Their cuteness alone will make a Brussels-hater into a Brussels-lover!

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #brusselssprouts #vegatables

Happy April 1st! This month couldn't have come quick enough! March was so very long. And I guess I should wish you all a Happy April Fool's Day too! I hope you don't get pranked too bad 😉 Be the prankster, don't be the pranked 😉 I don't have any witty post or recipe for you today, just something simple, but a great story that goes along!

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #brusselssprouts #vegatables

I'll begin at the very beginning. The first time I ever had Brussels sprouts was at my grandparent's house when I was a very young little girl. I was a daring eater and would try anything, so I wasn't scared even though so many people "dislike" the lovely sprouts. Well, of course it was love at first sprout bite! From there my mom started making them at home all the time. And let me tell you, there is nothing better than my mom's Brussels sprouts!

She doesn't even really do anything to them. (I can guarantee you, as she is reading this post, she is laughing!). She just covers them in water in a pot on the stove, throws in some onion, garlic, and pepper, and lets them cook for a while until super soft. I've tried doing it myself, but hers just taste more magical! But the (best) "cooking" process isn't over until they have cooled off and sat in the fridge overnight. Cold Brussels sprouts the next day, that's where it's at!

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #brusselssprouts #vegatables

My mom likes them best cold and the next-day too. So since I was in love with this awesome veggie, my mom started giving them to me to bring in my snack/lunch to school. I became the 1st grader with a container of cold (smelly) Brussels sprouts at snack time. I ate those babies loud and proud! I remember my little friends thinking I was weird and one of my teachers commenting, "You always have sure interesting snacks, Rebecca!" Hahaha! As I got older, I stopped bringing them to school though...I was too embarrassed. But I kept on eating them at home for sure 😉 AFTER school snack it was!

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #brusselssprouts #vegatables

Ingredients: (for 6 oz of sprouts, serves 2)

+ 6 oz Container of Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts

+ White Pepper

+ Garlic Powder

+ Onion Powder

+ ½ Cup Water

Directions:

+ Rinse and clean the Brussels. Then heat the water in a pot over high heat for a few minutes. To the pot, add the Brussels and spices.

+ Cover the pot and reduce heat to low for about 10-15 minutes. (Check the pot every so often to make sure all the water isn't gone).

+ Remove from heat and serve hot...or better yet, store them in the fridge and eat them tomorrow!

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #brusselssprouts #vegatables

You may have been wondering this whole time about these baby purple beauties! Yea, they are not the normal green sprout. These are special Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts Frieda's sent me over winter break and I'm just sharing them now 🙂 These guys are said to be a tad sweeter and less pungent than the normal big green ones. Either way, I love ALL Brussels sprouts! (And you should too!) If you think you don't like them, I am telling you, cook them until soft, let them sit in the fridge overnight, and eat them cold the next day! You will fall in love with their soft creaminess! SO GOOD!

So tell me:

+ Do you like Brussels sprouts?

+ Why are they called "Brussels" sprouts and not "Brussel" Sprouts? It's always angered me!

    This recipe looks great! I love how it's so simple and delicious. I didn't grow up eating brussel sprouts, somehow it wasn't a popular Indian dish. I've never heard of cold brussel sprouts as snacks - I think I'll give it a try 🙂

    Ha! What a cute kid =) I wouldn't touch anything like that when I was younger... or even older. Truth be told, I didn't even try brussels sprouts until I was in my 20's and the first experience was not a good one. I have since learned to roast them and LOVE them prepared that way, but I'll bet I like these too!
    I love that they are purple! I have never seen purple ones - so pretty =)

    You may have pushed me over the edge on the Brussels sprouts bandwagon. My first (and last) sprout was also at my grandma's house (circa 1985). I was not a fan. But it seems the times they are changing and I may be ready to see what all the buzz is about:)

    LOVE brussel sprouts roasted with olive oil and garlic, sadly this is war on my stomach so I eat them in moderation and without the garlic! I actually just bought some, though they aren't the baby purple ones. I've never cooked them this way or eaten them cold the next day, but the better cooked they are the more digestible so I will try it. Also I love leftovers for an afternoon snack, it couldn't be easier 🙂

    Like others have said, I prefer mine roasted. I can't believe you've never had them on a salad - SO good, hot or cold! (I love cold brussels, too.)

    Oh, and most botanists think they were originally grown in Brussels, Belgium, which is what they are named for. (Brussels, not Brussel....what is a brussel, anyway?)

    Love me some Brussels Sprouts, yum!! I've never had purple sprouts, now I'm going to be on a quest to find them.

    As a mom, and a daughter, I can tell you that the secret to your mom's sprouts is love. 🙂

    My husband pranked me at 5:00 am. Not funny!

      Purple produce just always ranks #1!

      Haha, love, yes! You're 100% correct!

      Omg! What did he do?

        He brought our new puppy out to me (she was in her kennel) so I could take her outside to do her business, and once I had her in my arms he said, "be careful, she made a mess (use your imagination) in her crate." I freaked out, not because I cared if I got crap on my pjs, but because I thought she was sick. Thankfully he said April fool immediately. He's been known to leave me hanging for a while. Dork! 🙂 He should know better than to prank me about my babies' well being!!

    I have never ever seen purple brussel sprouts, but now I REALLY want to find some... they probably don't have any near me though 🙁

      They don't have them near me either. I have no idea where they are....just that Frieda's sent them in my produce box a few months ago! Haha!

    I've never tried these little purple beauties. They look delicious! I've never eaten them cold, perhaps a topping on my next salad!

    I have never seen purple brussels sprouts but I just adore the green ones. Roasted is my favorite way!! These are so pretty!

      They are pretty! And I still like them cold and soft more than roasted, but roasted is perfectly fine too!

    I did not know there was such a thing as purple sprouts! Interesting though. My dad used to make us eat them, and I can't say I hated it, but I am still a little wary because you know kids hate whatever they are made to do haha. Thanks for sharing, they are definitely nutrition packed, which is what I need right now 🙂
