5. Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts contain one of the highest amounts of vitamin C in any vegetable. These little gems also contain folic acid, are high in antioxidants, and are high in protein making them a delicious meat alternative. Brussels sprouts also provide protection against inflammatory diseases like arthritis. These little guys have long been known as one of the more under-appreciated vegetables. This Golden Crusted Brussels Sprouts recipe on 101 Cookbooks guarantees that it will turn long sprout haters into lovers!
