They are definitely best if picked after a frost though - much sweeter. In fact, the best brussels sprouts I've ever had were picked Christmas day during a mild winter (I live in southern Ontario...in Canada...) mmm…Brussels sprouts.

For the first time, I planted some (from small starter plants) this past spring. They grew into these amazing 4 ft tall plants with giant leaves. Under the leaves all along the thick stock, dozens of sprouts, perfectly shaped started to appear about the beginning of September. These are the most delicious sprouts I ever ate. A few minutes boiling and a little butter and salt... heaven! I’m from Ohio and I love brussel sprouts! For the first time, I planted some (from small starter plants) this past spring.

(I don't particularly desire to eat them raw, but was simply curious.) I have never picked out and peeled the leaves off Brussels sprouts; I buy them frozen, when I cook them myself. I admit I'm lazy, and that's partially why I don't eat more vegetables at home. But I'm delighted to see the comments here, that so many others love Brussels sprouts as much as I do!

Honor - I eat them wayyyy too much! Lindsey - I honestly have no idea! If you feel like trying it and reporting back, go for it. I imagine you'd have to defrost them gently. I'd love it if it worked, I could eat sprouts all year round! I'll try to look for a bag and try them out. I have a feeling that fresh is better, but who knows! Mikaela - Thanks! I'm all about spreading the good word about sprouts. They get such a bad rap! Vicki - Thanks, but the idea for hashing them is from Orangette!

Honor - I eat them wayyyy too much!

I had a dream that there was a bag in my fridge and the next morning they were there (or perhaps I just had a flashback to when I bought them) I really want to try to do something with them... but am I just wasting my time?

I really want to try to do something with them… but am I just wasting my time?
