Don’t like much of this stuff.

However, my wife juices and uses a lot of kale and beets. Neither of them have a strong flavor. She’ll have strawberries or pineapple juice in the mix.

Good way to get the vitamins and minerals without most of what you don’t like about them.

Forgot cilantro ... odd taste something like hand lotion or soap. Usually confused with italian parsley (appearance not taste). Not a regular substance in my kitchen.

I hate fresh cilantro. It’s nasty. But, I grow it in my garden because I do like it dried. The flavor changes once it’s dried, and then it becomes usable in some mexican dishes.

Brussels sprouts...fresh only. Otherwise, they are very bitter to me, and I don’t like bitter.

Beets..love them!

Okra...depends on the cook. But I absolutely love the plant itself, and the flower it makes is beautiful!
