food familiarity is a major contributor to our taste preferences.
So just trying it again and again and again can make a huge difference.
But I think that there is, again, some sort of generational effect here where if we're not eating a lot of vegetables as kids, we're less likely to be familiar with them as adults.
We're less likely to know what to do with them, to know how to prepare them.
They can seem a lot more intimidating.
Yeah, so I think frozen vegetables are very underrated.
They are already trimmed, washed, chopped, maybe mixed, right?
You can get so many different vegetable medleys.
They might be pre-seasoned.
They might have a really yummy sauce on them.
They're going to have instructions on the package on how to cook them.
So there's less guesswork.
You don't have to figure out what to do.
And they're less likely to go to waste because they're not going to rot in the back of your fridge.
And sometimes the frozen version of a fruit or vegetable can actually be a little bit more nutrient dense than fresh just because they're frozen so quickly after harvest.
So you don't get nutrient degradation through storage.
It's a very tiny effect.
It's not actually meaningful from a nutritional sciences perspective.
So whatever you like and have access to and can afford, that's the best option to get.
But I think that frozen vegetables are a great starting point just because you don't have to learn how to chop up a bell pepper.
