Yesterday Green Giant revealed the results of a survey taken to determine America’s favorite vegetable. It turns out our nation’s number-one vegetable is broccoli. That seems right to me, because broccoli rules. The two runners up were carrots and corn. All these picks are excellent vessels for butter and cheese.
As always, there’s some fun tidbits thrown in with the survey. Tomatoes and cucumbers (which are both fruit, but who’s keeping track, really), were favorites in 2020, but didn’t make the 2021 list. While corn was chosen as the most popular vegetable in seven times more states in 2021 than in 2020, it still didn’t win. It’s also the favorite vegetable among Americans between the ages of 55 and 72. That’s oddly specific, but okay!
The West Coast couldn’t care less about broccoli; it’s all about the carrots over there, while folks on the East Coast are big fans of the cruciferous vegetable. In general, most people chose broccoli over all the other vegetables because they simply like the way broccoli tastes. At the same time, although it won, it’s losing ground to carrots: the number of states that picked carrots as their favorite increased by 500% this year, while broccoli’s popularity fell by 23%.

is a carrot?
The one I dislike the most is brussels sprouts.
Next they’ll be pushing Brussels sprouts.
I’m with you on maters
I choose Olives, the only way to eat broccoli is when its covered with cheese, so you can’t taste the broccoli.
peppers...
I love Brussels Sprouts, put on a heaping amount of melted butter and toss in some crispy fried onions. It’s my go to quick meal.
Everyone now that George H.W. Bush is dead, that is.

It’s taters.
I wholeheartedly agree!
I like broccoli but I would pick beans (green beans or butter beans) or okra as my favorite from the list at the link.

You just can’t pick one...It’s kind of seasonal in my household...Here in Upstate NY, in summer, tomatoes and corn on the cob become the favorites though brief. In the fall, we go after squashes. Add spinach, peas, beans and cukes in there as available.
Green beans are one of my favorites. Very versatile and tasty.
I had a spinach noodle lasagna at an Italian restaurant in Germany, incredibly delicious.
Broccoli cures cancer.
If you include how many ways corn can be processed it has to be number one. How many people drink broccoli squeezins? How many eat popped broccoli? Broccoli cakes? Broccoli bread? Creamed broccoli? etc.
the whole thing is silly
