Brussels
When referring to the city, the word functions as a proper noun and is treated as a singular entity. It carries a strong connotation of bureaucracy and international diplomacy due to its role as the de facto capital of the European Union.
In the context of the vegetable, the word serves as an attributive modifier for sprouts. While the vegetable itself is countable, the term Brussels in this specific compound noun is an invariant proper adjective derived from the city's name and does not change form.
