Recipe Tips and FAQ

• Can You Eat Raw Brussels Sprouts In A Salad? Yes! But it is recommended that they are shaved in order to digest better. It also helps to have the dressing or marinade sit for 30 minutes to soften the fibers in the sprouts in order to break them down a bit and so they are less bitter. 
• How Do You Shave Brussels Sprouts? Typically they are shaved using a basic mandolin. If you don’t have one, you can cut the brussel sprout in half and cut small strips widthwise until you reach the base. Make sure you are using a really sharp knife safely to do this. 
• Can You Shave Brussels Sprouts in a Food Processor? Yes! Most food processors have attachments that will allow you to shave brussel sprouts fast and easy.
