Brussels sprouts
Also called: rosenkohl, sprouts
Light — reduces Kapha, like the rest of the cabbage family.
How Brussels sprouts affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Pitta. |
| Kapha | Balancing | Calms Kapha — favour it when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Dry and gas-forming, so it unsettles Vata.
