Brussel Sprouts.

Tips on buying Brussel sprouts.

Found in the produce section of your supermarket, purchase smaller Brussel sprouts WITHOUT any yellow and loose leaves.

Storage.

Store purchased, un-cooked Brussels wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.

Extra Light Olive Oil.

While I purchase extra light olive oil at my supermarket, I have many clients who will purchase at local olive oil shops.  I always pick extra light since it has a neutral flavor.

Salt.

I am a HUGE fan of Redmond Real Salt, but please feel free to use your favorite seasonings.
