10 High Protein Vegetables
High Protein Vegetable #10: Brussels Sprouts
As with many vegetables, Brussels sprouts are a great source of fiber. But they are also a good source of other nutrients including protein. One cup of cooked Brussels sprouts which weighs about 156 grams contains 4 grams of protein. While this is not enough protein for a day, it is a reasonable portion to complement your main source of protein.
Brussels sprouts can be prepared in a number of ways including boiled, braised, roasted or sautéed. Eat them on their own or as a side dish. Eating Brussels sprouts also provides you with other nutrients like vitamins A, C, K, B6, folate, beneficial phytochemicals, and minerals like potassium and manganese.
