## What it means for your health
The fiber in this food may help keep digestion regular. Potassium is linked to normal fluid balance and nerve function. Protein contributes to building and repairing body tissues. The low fat and low sodium content make it a light choice for many meals.

## Good to know
You can eat Brussels sprouts raw in salads or lightly steam them to keep most nutrients. Cooking may reduce some vitamins but the fiber and minerals stay largely intact. Store them in the refrigerator and use within a few days for best quality. This is general education, not medical advice.
