Brussels sprouts, frozen, boiled in unsalted water

Brussels sprouts are a vegetable; the figures here describe frozen sprouts boiled in unsalted water. They provide vitamins and minerals, along with some protein and carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 3.5g of protein, 69mg of vitamin C, 120µg of vitamin K and 67µg of folate.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting, while folate supports normal cell division and blood formation. Sprouts prepared without added salt contain little salt or saturated fat; adding salt, butter or sauces changes their nutritional content. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
