About the Recipe

High in fibre, brussel sprouts will aid in satiety as well as stabilising your blood sugar levels. They are rich in flavonoids, which, prevent oxidation of LDL cholestoerol. The sulfur consitituent can help to maintain hair, skin and nail integrity as well as attract heavy metals. Sulfur is also needed to make glutathione, which plays a vital role in liver health and detoxification.
