A Brussels sprouts trimming machine comprises parallel endless chains provided with laterally disposed, horizontal conveyor flights each carrying pockets in the form of an inverted frustum of a right circular cone. A series of knives are provided beneath the bottom surface of the flights, ahead of which are nozzles directed upwardly toward each pocket. The nozzles are adapted to direct a blast of fluid upwardly into each pocket to orient the Brussels sprout therein properly, with its stem end downwardly, for cutting by the knives. Coacting plungers are employed to depress the Brussels sprouts into the pockets as the stem ends are presented to the knives.
