The firm sprouts have an excellent flavour and are particularly good steamed, roasted or sautéed. They also freeze well for longer-term storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaturing in approximately 90–120 days, plants perform best through the cooler months. Like other Brussels Sprouts, their flavour becomes sweeter and milder following exposure to cold weather and light frost.
