Brussels sprouts

Look: Pick tight, bright-green sprouts about an inch across with no yellowing outer leaves.
Feel: Good sprouts feel hard as marbles when squeezed — soft or puffy ones are past it.
Smell: They should smell mild and green; a strong cabbagey funk means they have sat too long.
Tip: Buy them still on the stalk after the first frost — a freeze turns the starch sweet and they keep longer that way.
Keeps: Fridge in an open bag — about a week loose, two weeks or more still on the stalk.
