Brussels Sprouts
1-, 5-, 10-, and 25-lb. packs
Choose Brussels sprouts that are fresh in appearance with good green color. Texture should be firm, leaves compact, and butt ends clean. Avoid puffy, wilted, or yellow sprouts.
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 34-36° F/1-2° C
- 90-98% relative humidity
Brussels sprouts may turn yellow if exposed to ethylene gas. To prevent yellowing, keep away from ethylene-producing fruits and ripening rooms.
Decay can occur if product is stored at high temperatures or in an area with low air circulation.
Wilting may result if Brussels sprouts are stored in an area with low humidity.
Loss of color and black speckling of leaves indicate age.
- Sauté chopped Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts and bacon; deglaze with touch of cream; serve with roasted chicken.
- Serve slaw made with shredded Brussels sprouts and spicy mustard dressing.
