I never liked the stuff when I was growing up because it reminded me of mowed grass clippings. And I never understood how Popeye could just pop a can and eat it like that. Then I had the Southern seasoned collard greens. And I love the stuff. I can only eat this kind. I know some people put vinegar on theirs. So how about you, you into greens, spinach, kale?

I like some spinach but the taste must be aquired.

I think the patience towards preparing greens or spinach keeps most people away from using it.They really have great nutritions one should not ignore.I would suggest to prepare it as a soup so that we can get the essential nutrients easily.Cheers!

i hated greens when i was much younger but then i started to get sick more often. now that i am older my main motivation for eating greens is to maintain good health so i can live longer for my kid. i guess the taste just grows on you. now i actually enjoy eating greens. i try my best to have one serving a day.

I'm not a huge fan of greens either but it's important to eat them for your health so I combine them with some of the foods I like putting spinach as a topping on my pizza.

I am into them. Don't like them a ton, but they are very good for you. I make sure to get some every day, which I think is helpful to my health.

I love them. I've never hated them as much as some people seem to, possibly because my family never made a big deal about me eating them or them being "gross", they just served them with lunch and dinner and that's what we ate. In fact, I loved spinach leaves so much that my mother used to bribe me with them. I thought they were fun because whenever I ate them, I would pretend I was a dinosaur.

I'm a huge spinach fan and also like to throw fresh basil into a lot of what I cook. I love making a fat ole sald with a million veggies in it. My mom used to make me drink this smoothie made out of greens and it actually wasn't bad. A pretty good way to get greens in your diet; just blend them up and chug em down.
