Story updated September 18, 2026

Brussels sprouts, named for the Belgian capital where they were cultivated by the 16th century, saw a dramatic reputation shift in American cooking during the 2010s once roasting, rather than boiling, became the preferred technique, often finished with balsamic vinegar for added depth.
