    Most veggies I tolerate. I don't think any of them (alone in natural state) make me go "Cor!" LOL! But there are a few that I just don't like at all: mushrooms (if you consider those veggies), radishes, mustard/turnip greens (I always skip right over them and go for the kale and/or collards), and I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now.

    I can't think of a single vegetable I don't like ... I used to HATE zucchini, but since I've tried it in others' fantastic raw dishes, I've added it to my "favorite veggies" list!

    When I make a salad have a hard time putting broccoli in it. Taste to me is, hmm overpowering. But I think in a raw recipe with other stuff or sauce I could do it okay. :)

    Broccoli and dandelion greens are not my favorite, but I can tolerate them in small doses.

    Broccoli is one of my favorite cooked foods, but I can't tolerate it raw. I get the worst broccoli gas, lol!

    Don't like fennel either . . . never have liked anise flavored stuff.

    I haven't gotten accustomed to bitter stuff yet. It's just not a taste that is appreciated here, so raw dandelion, radish greens, etc. aren't appealing.

    Here you on the kale! Veggies overall aren't as good raw as fruits as far as i am concerned. Carrots being my fave and all the rest tolerable with a good dressing or spice.

    I used to hate broccoli but I just ate some fresh broccoli plain by itself today and I was really appreciating the flavor. It's so strange because I used to not like it at all! I have hated onions or anything onion flavored pretty much my entire life but since going raw I haven't tried them again yet to see if my taste has changed. It's so amazing to me how much tastebuds can change in such a short amount of time!

    So what do you eat if you dislike veggies?????

    Me? My family makes fun of me because I hated all veggies!!!!! The big joke is when they made fun of my adversion to pea soup and they keep at me so I cracked and yelled f...bleep! the peas!!!! They even found a sign for my kitchen that says "Eat your Peas!" What I've found is I don't like COOKED veggies. The raw ones I dislike are broccoli, cauliflower, and radishes. Everything else is ok.

    needs updated and the blogging isn't active on this part. I've met that goal and started new goals! It's a lot of history though....

    Hi Kristi,

    Well, when I ate cooked I could eat steamed greens of any kind at any time. But now that I am raw I mostly eat fruit that we all use as veggies, tomatos and cucumbers. I use romaine lettuce with them. I usually eat my salads of these three (with the olive oil and sea salt). Sometimes I will shred carrots on it or zucchini. But mostly its just those three. Thats one of the reasons that when I was a vegan I was still overweight and clogged up. I didn't eat anywhere near enough fresh fruit and salad was maybe once per week. Then last year I started eating a salad before dinner every night and my health went to a new level. I slowly incorporated more and more raw food into my diet. At the time I went raw (or about 95% raw) I was probably around 50-60% raw. But if you see my before raw picture (taken last April) you can see I was very soft around the middle. Thats because I desperately needed a cleanse. Which the 30 day juice fast gave me. If you look at recent pics (such as the one posted here) I am 20lbs lighter, but more importantly, my insides are much cleaner. I still hate veggies, but the olive oil and sea salt make it easy for me to eat them daily. Thank God for FRUIT!!!
