Because cooking releases a chemical that smells like sulfur. It makes an unpleasant smell and usually a bitter taste too.

Cooked longer than 5-8 minutes and you increase the chances of releasing the chemical sinigrin.

Why do brussels sprouts taste so bad?

One of the reasons so many people dislike Brussels sprouts is the method of cooking. In many cases, these vegetables are simply overcooked by boiling, causing them to become mushy and release an unpleasant odour, rather like rotten egg gas. It is better to steam, roast or stir fry them in order to bring out the best flavour. Apart from that, there is an actual specific gene present in a large number of people that make Brussels sprouts taste bitter to them.

How many minutes do you steam brussels sprouts?

Take a plain old pot. Fill halfway to three quarters full with water. Put some brussel sprouts in the pot. Turn on your stove burner. Put lid on pot. Wait until you look down and see bubbles in the pot. Take the lid off. Stick a fork into one of the brussel sprouts. If it is tender, they are ready. If not, keep cooking. When tender and fork comes out cleanly, turn off stove burner. Take pot off stove. Eat brussel sprouts, but careful, they're hot. Enjoy.


How do you cook the large leaves on a brussel sprout plant?

Basically you don't. You only cook and consume the leaf-buds i.e. the sprouts. The sprouts should be removed from the stalk and then cooked. The stalk is far too woody to either cook or consume. If you have a goat give it the stalk as a Christmas treat.
