How do I remove my Brussel sprouts ?

Cut the entire stalk off the plant. Remember, to cook choose like sizes to cook, they will all be done at the same time. Enjoy them. Fran,MI.

Lucky You! It's real easy. You just snap them off one by one. Then remove any damaged outer leaves and trim the base. That's it! Super easy. I can only buy them like that at farmers markets, occasionally Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.

Remove sprouts by twisting them until they break away from the plant. As you remove the lower sprouts, you can also remove yellowing leaves; the plant continues to grow upward, producing more leaves and sprouts. The plant will withstand frost and can be harvested until a hard freeze strikes. The best-quality sprouts are produced during sunny days with light frosts at night. As winter approaches, you can trick the sprouts into maturing all at once by cutting off the top of the plant about 3 weeks before you want to harvest.One full-sized, healthy plant can bear 2 to 3 pounds of sprouts. They come quickly at first but will slow down as the weather gets colder. Once a sprout is picked, new ones will not form in that spot. Full-grown sprouts keep well on the plant in cold weather, making them a great winter harvest item for gardeners in the South (planted in fall). In cold climates, gardeners often bury Brussels sprouts plants up to their tops in hay or leaves in late fall, then pull off the little sprouts as needed through winter.

I pick them off by twisting them; you can also use a sharp knife and cut them off. Wait until after the first frost, they taste better!
