Brussel sprouts are one of those veggies that are better steamed or lightly boiled…once cooked to a soft yet bright green hue! The fiber in them  binds together with bile acids in your digestive tract much better . When this  process takes place, it’s easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels! But be careful not to overcook them or they will loose their nutritional value!To help Brussels sprouts cook more quickly and evenly cut each sprout into quarters. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out the health-promoting qualities and then steam them for 5 minutes!
