fruits and vegetables. What are you favorites. My favorite fruit is apples and vegetable is broccoli. I would eat fruits and veggies everyday but they're so expensive.

wow, that's a hard question... in the fruit category, i like things in the berry family best: strawberries, blueberries, cherries, avocados... altho i also really like bananas & cantaloupe.
favorite veggies are: onions, yellow squash, okra, green beans [NOT canned ones, tho], spinach [NOT canned!], & mushrooms.
i also like some of the 'starchy' veggies, which i consider starches, not veggies [years of dieting, what can i say?] white potatoes, sweet potatoes, green peas, black-eyed peas, lima beans, crowder peas, lentils, corn... i could go on & on with these!

I love vegetables for sure. Fruits I only like in season, i.e., apples in September/October, Strawberries in June, etc. I do, however, ensure we have fresh fruit available all winter, namely clementines, bananas, apples, pears, grapes, sometimes kiwi - it really depends on what looks good/fresh when I'm doing the shopping. Hubby always has several kinds of fruit with his cereal.

Vegetable favourites are broccoli, spinach, carrots, potatoes of course, green beans, asparagus and artichoke, oh, heck I pretty much love all vegetables. I LOVE carrot juice too. One of my very favourites is beet tops instead of spinach but they are hard to find.

I prefer vegetables, what I don't eat already I am willing to try. I even like brussel sprouts.


There's very few fruits I like, and only when they're in season - tomatoes, strawberries, peaches, and plums. This is likely why my potassium level is usually too low, though I almost got it up to proper level during the summer with all the tomatoes I ate.

Grow them. It would be easy during the summer and with a proper spectrum bulb you could grow them inside too.

A dietician once asked me if I had to give up all food groups except for one, which would I keep.

I told her "Fruit!"

She didn't like that answer
Fruit has lots of sugar and starch and is converted to fat.

But it's still my food group of choice!

I love all fruits and vegetables.

If I had to only have 1 of each.... I would go with Strawberries and Yellow Beans.

For fruit I am going to go with the banana. And for vegetables I love mushrooms and potatos. I have to say that I like vegetables a lot more than fruit. For me it's the texture of the fruit that I don't really like. You know, especially the squishy fruit. But I like the taste. If that makes any sense! Anyway, I have to go

I love all fruits. Mmmmm those sweet, juicy Golden Delicious apples
. As far as veggies go, I like most of them but there are some that I don't like such as cauliflower and broccoli.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet fruit, I just don't have a sweet tooth at all - but all and any veg or fruit that is for savoury use rather than desserts (tomatoes, green peppers, you know what I mean) I absolutely love all of it, I could quite happily live on veg - and as it happens I do a lot of the time

My mother had this bad habit of overcooking every veggie until they were mush so I grew up hating all veggies. It was many years of eating veggies that were cooked but still crunchy that I truly started to like them. Everything but broccoli that is.

I would have to say my favorite veggies are asparagus, zucchini and broccoli. My favorite fruit has always been peaches with watermelon and Mango's a close second.

I LOVE fruit. When I was growing up, we had peach trees, a pear tree, sweet and sour cherry trees, grapevines, apple tree (good for baking only), big juicy strawberries growing wild in the field next door, some kind of fruit tree that looked like little purple footballs, we called it a prune tree. No idea what they really were, but they were good, tasted like a plum. Currents. It was awesome, but it's spoiled me for not being crazy about the stuff you get in stores.

I don't care for melons though.

Veggies, not so much. Carrots are good if they're raw.

I love veggies! I love and crave iceberg salad (no dressing), steamed broccoli and cauliflower, carrots and sweet potatoes!
As for fruits, I like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon and sweet melon. I'm not too crazy about the tangy fruits though.

I'm picky about fruits. I LOVE bananas...but they don't love me (if you get my meaning). I love the taste of apples, but have a hard time digesting them. Grapes are great, but the best I have EVER found is a starfruit.

Now, isn't tomato actually a fruit? If so, I LOVE them!

For veggies, I love broccoli, onions, lettuce, carrots, radishes...actually anything that you can put into a salad. We are planting a good size garden this spring, and I hope to satisfy my veggie craving without having to go to the market!

Yep! Apples, grapes, and broccoli! I drink a lot more pure fruit juice instead of eating fruit because the juice is cheaper.

I don't really eat many fruits. I love veggies though. My favorites are green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, corn, carrots (only when cooked), romain lettuce for salads and stuff, asparagus, brussel sprouts, and green, banana, or jalepeno peppers. I love veggies and veggie dip..or dipped in hidden valley ranch dressing. I also love salads.

We eat alot more veggies now that we have the birds. We have to keep fruit and veggies around for them so we end up eating better.
