But what's the key to making them a success? Well, according to new research, it's not so much about what you do as it is about what you don't do.

A new sprout and kale hybrid has been harvested in time for Christmas as a more appealing alternative to the loathed Brussel Sprout. The creation, called Kalettes, are nutty and sweet tasting and are a cross between kale and the traditional sprout.
