Brussels Sprouts

BRUSSELS SPROUTS
      Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) are characterized by a high concentration of vitamin K (phylloquinone) (208.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), ascorbic acid (111.0%), folate (32.5%), and pyridoxine (14.0%). Its mineral profile is notably rich in: silicon (93.0% DV per 100 g), potassium (18.0%), and manganese (13.5%). Furthermore, it contains significant levels of dietary fiber (21.0%), the essential amino acid valine (approx. 10.0% DV), and the non-essential amino acid proline (16.9%). It is further distinguished by its concentration of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (24.7%), among which alpha-linolenic acid (18:3) is the predominant fraction. The composition also includes starch (0.49 g per 100 g) and sucrose (1.49 g per 100 g).
     Individuals predisposed to gout should consider that 100 g of Brussels sprouts constitute 20.0% of the maximum daily allowance for purine bases.
     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is 15 mg, representing 3.8% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
