Brussels sprouts taste like a cross between mild, earthy cabbage and sweet asparagus, with a distinct nutty finish. Raw sprouts are crisp and sharp with a peppery bite, while overcooked sprouts can taste flat and overly sulfurous.
Understanding their flavor requires looking at how their chemical makeup changes with heat:
- Raw / Shaved: Crisp, peppery, slightly mustardy, and mildly bitter. Best used in shaved salads.
- Roasted / Sautéed: Deep caramelization transforms their natural sugars into a sweet, rich, and nutty flavor that perfectly balances their inherent bitterness.
- Boiled / Steamed: Breaks down glucosinolates (natural sulfur compounds). If overcooked, this releases pungent, swampy, and cabbage-heavy aromas that many people dislike.
