Kale.

Remember the "Big Kale Rush" of the early 2000's? It was like Dutch tulips in the 1600s.

I will agree with artichokes. Who tf saw this thing and was like, maybe if I keep peeling it will taste good...? No thanks lol.


Leeks are so sandy and stringy.
I made a potato leek soup (the recipe is actually potato ONION leek) and just omitted the leek and let the onion carry the way and it was much better. Sorry leeks.

The sand can be a b* to clean, but I love the flavour. Roasted leeks with butter mmmmm

Good example. They need to be "harvarded" (does that mean cook in a lot of sugar and vinegar?) before they taste good. But then they are very good.



I've tried so hard to like them. Even when they are sugared, the flavor is repulsive.


How do you sugar a beet? They already have a ton of sugar in them? All you need is to roast them to get the sugar taste.

Nope! You never miss carrots!


I love carrots when they are seasoned and roasted. Even my picky eater loves a good couscous bowl with roasted carrots, onions and chickpeas.

OMG. These are two of my favorites. One of my best memories from childhood was eating sweet jackfruit. As for okra -- just pan fried some tender okra the other day and ate the entire pan.
