A little bit of frost makes all Brussels sprout varieties taste milder because starch in the sprout is converted into sugar. The sprouts can also be frozen to achieve a similar effect. In that case, they should first be blanched in boiling water for about three minutes before freezing. In this way, Mother Nature can be approximated to achieve that (even) milder taste.
