Children nowadays seemed to be not eating vegetables that much. So I always reminded my children of the importance of it in our health. And I make it a point to introduce to them different kind of vegetables. Personally, I like leafy vegetables. How about you guys?

Hi Izathewzia, I like vegetable very much, I like all of them, vegetable mix soup (cabbages, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and some pork) especially I love it when it cook by my mom, very delicious. Another soup will be pumpkin soup with some cube pork. Do you cook vegetable soup for child? you should try it.

vegetable - different kinds of vegetables are healthy
I like almost all vegetables except for the ones they taste bitter. I agree with you that children are not very interested in vegetables. I don't really know why. But at least most of them seem to like potatoes. I love China

I love vegetables but what I love most is the “Talong” (Egg plant) because my Mother always use this in our viand. I love “Fried Eggplant” or “Pritong talong” in Filipino term. It is just easy to cook. Let me post the recipe…. You might like it guys! • 2 tablespoons canola oil • 1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced • 3 eggs, beaten • 2 cups dry bread crumbs Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in crumbs, and place in hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Hi Iza! I like almost all vegetables available here in PI.LIke you,I like bitter gourd too and other native veggies.When I was a kid,my mom would always cook veggies for I thought It was because we can't afford to buy pork,chicken and beef.Thopught we were so poor to eat veggies a lot.NOW,in our present time,I realized how lucky we were to have eaten lots of veggies and fruits then LOL...I am also instilled the importance of eating vegetables to my girls.So,it is a must for me to serve vegetables in our daily meal.

I really like steamed carrots. I like when they are just a little bit crunchy still. I am also starting to like asparagus more these days. I am experimenting with different ways to cook it.

Hi izathewzia, I totally agree with you that kids nowadays dislike taking vegetable while having meals. What they love more are fried chicken, eggs, meats and etc but not veggies, so the leftover on the dinner table is always vegetable. Yeah, I have told them how much important the vegetable is to our health they still pick meats dishes on the table unconsciously most of the time. I know they love egg very much so I try to stir fry chopped small pieces of carrots, long beans, tomatoes and ..... together with stirred egg. Yeah, they loved such dish very much and would finish it together with the rice served. They love fried rice and noodles as well, so I use different veggies which were chopped small pieces or in small shreds and to stir fry them with meats and use a fried egg or egg shreds as topping. I’m not picky when come to vegetables and I love all kinds of vegetables. The dish is delicious or not is mostly depending on how the way it is cooked. Happy posting and have a nice day.

I love vegetables. They are very important to our health specially to children.They should be motivated to eat a lot of green leafy vegetables. I could eat local and imported vegetables.

I like most vegetables, especially lettuce like romaine, iceberg and butterhead. These can be eaten raw; others like brocolli, asparagus, aubergines, cabbages and others have to be cooked, are fine with me too.

I like vegetables too. And my favorite now is bitter melon. Some leafy and eggplants. I said it now because since when i was not getting married I never eat vegetable. I hate to see them on top of the table for dining. Well now that I am married and a mother I'll introduced to my kids also the importance of eating vegetable and the vitamins they get in to this. It will also helps us to be more healthy and some old folks says it will be the source of our long life. Better to eat vegetables and believe the sayings for it has nothing to loss.
