Over in the Old Country where the sprouts originated, the same goes for Kale - a typical winter staple like the sprouts and tastes better with every frost.
My initial idea @:-) of a night in the freezer due (luckily) to lack of frost did not produce the same desired results as mother nature tho.

Prepared many times as main ingredient with Pancetta in a quiche ... mmmmmm
