Broccoli is America’s favorite vegetable It’s no secret that everyone loves broccoli and now Green Giant has a survey to back it up.

the take out ^

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%.

If I get to Hell I’m sure the demons will torment me with broccoli.

I prefer peas myself. They go well with mac n cheese and any number of pasta dishes.

My wife hates Brussel Sprouts and refuses to cook them. Whenever they are on the menu at a restaurant I get them. Same with Asparagus.

I just tossed a chicken in the smoker for tonight. Will be grilling Asparagus later.

Um... Lettuce outsells broccoli by a mile.

Corn shouldn’t even count.

I used to find broccoli okay, but no longer like it.

I love brussel sprouts oven roasted with bacon. Also great with cranberries.

Is that a vegetable?........................

Darn skippy! My late grandad was a tater farmer. Taters rule!

I always liked the first crop. Then I was overwhelmed. I make a green bean salad...sauteed garlic and green beans...buttered beans...but not much else you can do with them. There are just soooo many vegies...and I love them all. I do lose weight in the summer....working in the garden and eating vegies...but I still like my grilled surf and turf all summer long.

Look at it this way...More beans for you!! :-)

[Sacajaweau]

I think we all take lettuce and tomatoes for granted...like bread and cereal.

Hi.

Most everything on this planet can be eaten raw. Broccoli, carrots, lettuce, beans etc. And of course fruits.

I like many other things raw like crustations, other fish, beef and lamb.

Foul and swine have to be cooked.

One of the things I loved about GHWB. I rather like broccoli, but my faves are green beans, celery, tomatoes. Do mushrooms count?

[BlueLancer]

I did .. except it was in 1975 ...

[xrmusn]

In the 60s I believe they were called ham & mothers....

I liked them though admittedly did NOT have to survive on C/K rats etc,
