Brussels Sprouts Seeds Groninger Sementes Vivas ECO

Brussels sprouts are a variety of small cabbages that grow along the stem of the plant and are often used as a garnish in cooking, either sautéed, roasted or steamed.
They stand out for being an option with a good content of fiber, minerals and antioxidants, and are presented as an interesting complement within a balanced diet, especially when looking for more vegetable contribution to the dish.
In terms of cultivation, although they are not excessively demanding with the soil, they tend to prefer clayey and alkaline soils, and give better results when the land is fertile and with good drainage.
In organic farming, sowing can be started in a tray and transplanted to the final location approximately 6 weeks later, when the plant already has between 4 and 5 leaves.
The recommended soil pH is between 6.5 and 7.5, and the plant thrives in different textures, from heavier soils to more sandy, as long as drainage is maintained.
Regarding the climate, it prefers spaces with good sun exposure and does not tolerate excessive temperatures, which is why it is important to choose the right time and location.
Watering must be regular and balanced, avoiding both excess and lack of water; drip irrigation is a particularly suitable option to maintain consistency without excessively wetting the foliage.
Base fertilization with compost is a recommended practice, but you must be careful with excess nitrogen, as it can result in plants that are less resistant to cold.
