'''Brussels sprout''' (''Brassica oleracea'' var. ''gemmifera'') is a member of the [[Gemifera Group]] of cabbages, grown for its edible buds. The leafy green vegetables are typically 1.5–4.0 cm (0.6–1.6 in) in diameter and look like miniature [[cabbage]]s. The Brussels sprout has long been popular in [[Brussels]], [[Belgium]], from which it gained its name.

==History==
The Brussels sprout has been grown in the [[Low Countries]] (Belgium, the Netherlands, and northern France) since the 13th century. The first written reference dates to 1587. During the 16th century, they enjoyed a popularity in the southern Netherlands that eventually spread throughout the cooler parts of Northern Europe.

==Cultivation==
Brussels sprouts are grown in temperate climates with a long growing season. They are typically planted in late spring to early summer and harvested in late autumn to early winter. The plant requires a firm, fertile, and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. They are usually grown from seed and can be started indoors before being transplanted to the garden.

==Nutritional Value==
Brussels sprouts are a rich source of [[vitamin C]], [[vitamin K]], [[folate]], and [[dietary fiber]]. They also contain [[glucosinolates]], which are compounds believed to have cancer-preventing properties. The vegetable is low in calories and high in nutrients, making it a healthy addition to any diet.

==Culinary Uses==
Brussels sprouts can be cooked in a variety of ways, including steaming, boiling, roasting, and sautéing. They are often seasoned with [[salt]], [[pepper]], and [[olive oil]], and can be combined with other ingredients such as [[bacon]], [[garlic]], and [[parmesan cheese]]. Overcooking Brussels sprouts can release sulfur compounds that produce a strong, unpleasant smell.

==Pests and Diseases==
Brussels sprouts are susceptible to several pests and diseases, including [[aphids]], [[cabbage worms]], and [[clubroot]]. Proper crop rotation, pest management, and soil care are essential for maintaining healthy plants.
