I was in the health food store a few weeks ago and saw a beautiful display of fresh Brussels sprouts. I’ve never been particularly enamored with them, but at the same time, I know that they are full of important nutrients.

I want to share with you something I’ve come across recently thanks to one of my clients. Some of you are familiar with Kashi, the company that makes whole grain cereals and snack bars.
