I was today year’s old when I discovered Brussels sprouts in their native habitat.

(I also discovered it’s “Brussels sprouts” and not “Brussel sprouts.”🤷🏻‍♀️)

@katiephang This is what really blew my mind when I found out: “Brussels sprouts are the same species as cabbage, cauliflower, kale, broccoli and kohlrabi (among others). They are all different parts of the wild cabbage (Brassica oleracea) plant, which have been selectively bred for different exaggerated traits.”
