BRUSSEL SPROUTS, BACON and JAM

Brussel sprouts have recently become part of my diet.
They are very good for our health, rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants, which work wonders to get rid of many health troubles.

Brussel sprouts are an excellent source of vitamin C.
Together with other antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin A and E,
it helps protect the body by trapping harmful free radicals.
It is one of the excellent vegetable sources for vitamin-K,
good for bone health and prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
They are also rich source of minerals like copper, calcium, potassium,
iron, manganese, and phosphorus.

I suggest you to try this recepe where the healthy vegetable pairs with the
superdelicious bacon.
