FYI: The entirety of the Brussels sprout—the whole dang bud—is edible.

Broccoli and cauliflower, for instance, have pronounced edible flower heads. Kohlrabi, meanwhile, has a large and rotund fleshy stalk that's crisp and juicy. Cabbage and Brussels sprouts, on the other hand, are vegetative buds—in the case of cabbage, it's a terminal bud that grows at the end of the stalk, while Brussels sprouts are lateral buds that grow all around and along the length of the stalk, almost as if someone glued a bunch of green ping pong balls to a walking stick.
Divide your cutting tasks into batches so you can cruise through the prep more efficiently. Don't just work one sprout at a time from start-to-finish. Halved sprouts should simply be cut in two even hemispheres lengthwise through the core. If you were to make the mistake of cutting the sprouts longitudinally, you'd end up with the core entirely within one half, and loose leaf tops falling apart on the other. By cutting through the core, you'll hold the halved or quartered sprouts together.How to Finely Shave Brussels SproutsI developed a couple years ago, shaving the sprouts can provide an enjoyable texture with maximum surface area.
