The "sprouts" (small heads that resemble miniature cabbages) are produced in the leaf axils, starting at the base of the stem and working upward.
maybe you should check your english first..
it's hard to understand what you're trying to ask.
Well, you didn't originally ask in this forum, so people might not know where your anger is coming from.
A brussels sprout is actually a miniature wild cabbage. It's not the sprout of anything, it's just what they're called. They were originally cultivated in Brussels, hence the name; they grow in spirals on stalks that are 2-4 feet high and look like little buds at first, which is probably where the name came from. They're in the same family as cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, kale, and kohlrabi.
It's just what they were called, way back when. They're not actually the sprout of anything, they're the edible bud of that plant.
All plants start out as sprouts. Alfalfa sprouts, for example, are just baby alfalfa plants. I'm guessing that they call them sprouts because they LOOK like baby cabbage.
