Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2016 -- Brussels sprouts are somewhat like Marmite, people seem to either love them or hate them, there is no in-between, however when it comes to Brussels sprouts it seems that there's many things in which people do not know about them, with the Telegraph recently publishing an article jam-packed full of Brussels sprouts facts for all to feast upon.
