The key to these Brussels sprouts? The balance of flavors. Maple syrup, bacon, and shallot = a divine trio, while the star ingredient that brings it all together - Sunkist Delite® Mandarins - heightens the recipe with citrus notes. You'll never make Brussels sprouts the same way again!

About Sunkist
Sunkist is a citrus cooperative that has been supporting California growers for over 125 years – since 1893, to be exact. To me, that means that they are a family of farmers that respect and depend on one another, uniting to share that special California-sunshine and high-quality citrus throughout the world. Sunkist believes in the importance of the individual farmer, which is something that I very much relate to, as I have deep roots in the farming industry here in my neck of the woods in Kentucky.
Apart from that, Sunkist is a sustainable brand that recognizes the vitality of Earth-friendly practices for the future of agriculture.
