NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS
Brussels sprouts have to be one of the biggest ‘Marmite’ vegetables around. Love them or hate them, there doesn’t seem to be any middle ground when it comes to these teeny cabbagelike vegetables. I blame most of the negative press on school dinners, with sprouts that were carelessly boiled for around three and a half days, making them soft, squishy, and stinky too! However, this may not be the whole story.There is modern research to suggest that some humans could have a hypersensitive gene dating back to Neanderthal times.
