I have been buying brocco sprouts at my local grocer (an independantly owned one,they stock more exotic fruits and veggies) for about a year. As Becky says they are meant to be eaten raw, and I usually mix them into my salad or put them into a wrap with other veggies, turkey breast. The taste is sort of like grass, but not terrible. Again, if you mix them with other foods they're okay.
Be sure to check the expiry date on the plastic box they are packaged in, usually they're only good for about 4 - 5 days.

all the best
