The flower sprout – an ingenious cross between a brussel sprout and Kale. These little buds of heaven are delightfully flavoursome with all of the goodness of a sprout, but with a much milder taste – something that might get your children eating their greens!!

I have experimented a lot with Kale chips and decided to have a go at roasting the flower sprouts. By some miracle it worked the first time. They came out with delicately crispy outer leaves and a soft gooey middle. I used them in an omelette and also on salads, as well as just having them as a low calorie snack between meals.
