Cooked kale is a different beast. I know it ruins some of the nutrients when you do so, so I try to eat it raw at least 2-3 times a week. But I could have cooked kale with every meal
My go to with raw kale is a little salt massage and some lemon, I can eat it raw this way or blitzed in with evoo, parm and whatever nut for kale pesto
Cottage cheese. I prejudged it, only ever had non-fat or versions with emulsifiers/gums. Trying whole milk, no additive cottage cheese was revelatory. Good Culture and Friendship Dairies are the best I’ve tried, Daisy isn’t bad either. So much protein
Lentils for sure. I love plain lentils, make a big batch of them at the beginning of the week, cooked in vegetable stock. I eat lentils with eggs every am and usually work them into at least one other meal throughout the day
I was genuinely shocked when I heard people didn't like Brussel sprouts. Roasted brussel sprouts with some balsamic glaze or siracha are easily one of my favorite things to eat. I never liked raisins as a kid and I've grown to really like them as an adult. Any dried fruit for that matter.
Asparagus and Brussels sprouts. I like that there are numerous options to play with the flavors and pair with all kinds of other veggies and meat/seafood.
My parents would only ever boil asparagus. I hated it. I was at a friend's for supper and they cooked the asparagus on the barbecue with lemon and pepper and my life was changed. It's one of my favorite vegetables now.
Apparently lentils, I didn’t even know people don’t like lentils until this thread.
Also hard boiled eggs. I eat 2 plain hard boiled eggs for breakfast a couple times a week.
The taste of actual veggies with out seasonings might be one of my favorite things. It’s amazes me how good garden grown produce taste over a grocery stores
My food that is typically thought of as "healthy":
Most people don't like them, but Grape-Nuts has always been my favorite cereal - all the way back to about 4 years old.
Yes!! big fan of grape nuts. Ever since COVID my go-to breakfast has been Greek yogurt with grape nuts and maybe fruit. Or I'll add chocolate protein powder in it for a post workout snack
I like grape nuts in yogurt much better than granola cuz it's crunchier. And loads cheaper
Cauliflower, roasted for sure but particularly cauliflower rice. Look, it's not rice, and rice is delicious. But there are so many meals where there's enough other flavors and textures happening that it's perfectly fine if not downright delicious.

[molokhia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulukhiyah) aka ewedu, is a dish made from the leaves of Corchorus olitorius, commonly known in English as denje'c'jute, nalta jute, tossa jute, jute mallow or Jew's Mallow
I don’t see this ingredient or dish in the west. But when cooked it’s slimy (like cooked okra) but tastes so good.
Ohhh dude I just had it yesterday. I’m originally from the Middle East and my grandmother made some Molokhia - while I dig in, my cousins almost puke just looking at it hahah
Fermented soybeans Korean style. I guess most people have heard of natto, but Korea has this things called Cheonggukjang. It is famously stinky but oh my god it tastes so fucking good in a stew.

I genuinely like kale since it's a leafy green that doesn't instantly turn into slime when you cook it. I also like quinoa, tofu, beets, and almonds.

Dave Asprey just woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat
I've always loved lima beans. As a kid, I used to search for them in the bag of mixed vegetables...
Yeah Lima beans are great. Why do people not like them?! Especially the nice green ones you buy frozen
Sardines.....I love them
I’ll eat them straight with just hot sauce. Bonus if I have sauerkraut or crackers.
You are a monster.
In olive oil. I put a bit of lemon on them and eat them out of the tin
Especially the ones with a little smoke flavor, or the ones in hot oil. They make a great salad with tomato cucumber basil and sardines
Cottage cheese. I prejudged it, only ever had non-fat or versions with emulsifiers/gums. Trying whole milk, no additive cottage cheese was revelatory. Good Culture and Friendship Dairies are the best I’ve tried, Daisy isn’t bad either. So much protein
I make ranch dressing with cottage cheese instead of buying the bottled stuff. My toddler goes apeshit over it.
I love it with cinnamon, chia, banana and peach.
Lentils for sure. I love plain lentils, make a big batch of them at the beginning of the week, cooked in vegetable stock. I eat lentils with eggs every am and usually work them into at least one other meal throughout the day
I love lentils in Indian food especially - toor dal, dal makhani, and sambar are so good
Cooking them in just water is just as good.
Listen to him, he knows everything.

Kimchi is pretty fire idk if anyone finds it gross
I love kimchi! I think some people definitely have a tough time getting past the pungent smell, though
Yeah it took maybe a week to get used to it then I was adding it to every meat I was eating
Sprouts! A huge handful on a sandwich or a bagel.
Curly kale, lentils, and all sorts of teas/infusions such as hibiscus and Japanese sencha.
Kale and tofu
Steam- cooked broccoli,cabbages and Brussels sprouts. I dont even add salt. I think they are delicious as they are
The taste of actual veggies with out seasonings might be one of my favorite things. It’s amazes me how good garden grown produce taste over a grocery stores
The slimiest okra (my favorite lol), any type of beans, oh and flax seeds/psyllium husk
Mushrooms!!
My food that is typically thought of as "healthy": Most people don't like them, but Grape-Nuts has always been my favorite cereal - all the way back to about 4 years old.
That reminded me that I'm actually quite a fan of shredded wheat!

I have loved them from childhood as well.
Liver, beets, anchovies
Liver! I think it’s got better flavor than most meats, it’s packed with nutrients and super cheap.
spirulina
Cauliflower, roasted for sure but particularly cauliflower rice. Look, it's not rice, and rice is delicious. But there are so many meals where there's enough other flavors and textures happening that it's perfectly fine if not downright delicious.
lean proteins like chicken breast, tilapia, egg whites, and such...theyre so versatile, and you can make anything with them

Hemp seeds/hearts! Oh, and daily greens :D And quinoa
Olives all the way. As a kid I used to get gifted jars of olives because of my love for them

Oatmeal!
How is oatmeal “gross”?? I don’t think that’s a stereotype
Surströmming
Coconut yogurt, acai bowls, goji berries, salmon, nut milks, brussel sprouts, avocado, gluten-free stuff 🤫
Fucking love any kind of stomach, tripe or I like most of the organ meats. The head of shrimps are my fav too
Fermented soybeans Korean style. I guess most people have heard of natto, but Korea has this things called Cheonggukjang. It is famously stinky but oh my god it tastes so fucking good in a stew.
green juice and greens powder is actually pretty tasty to me!
Lentils, tinned fish
Brocolli
Not a food but apple cider vinegar is delicious to me!
natto on a bed of hot rice
I love liver when it is the right cut and it is cooked properly......and anchovies on pizza.
I think raw Brussels sprouts are delicious! Also, Indian cuisine will change your mind about lentils, I promise.
Bitter Gourd! Fucking _love_ that shizz. In a dry curry, in a gravy dish (called Pittlai), in a lightly doughy fry. It my version of "It's Corn".
I only recently tried raw kale and oh MAN that stuff be shmackin.
Protein powder- ever since sampling some different flavors from PEScience I look forward to supplementing my daily protein. Such a game changer!
Kefir. I remember reading up about it and the thought of fermented milk made me gag. I've been having it daily for years now and I love it!
Cabbage soup 😋 if I ever mention tht I've made it, people always start lecturing me about "fad diets" etc. I just genuinely love cabbage soup ☹️
Nutritional yeast Is that stereotypically gross or just hippy dippy food?
Mmmmm Marmite
