What raw veggies does your LO like?

I really want DS to eat more raw veggies at lunch or for a snack. I'm just trying to get more ideas on what I can offer. So far he really likes carrots, peas, broccoli & cucumber. I've tried giving red bell peppers & cherry / grape tomatoes but those didn't go over well! What raw veggies are you offering?

Re: What raw veggies does your LO like?

  • Snow peas, sweet potato spears, and those you mentioned.  She also likes freeze dried corn and peas.
  • Loading the player...
  • I got him to eat a cucumber once. We have a REALLY hard time with the raw veggies. I offer tomatoes, lettuce, spinach etc.

  • Cherry tomatoes is about all but, honestly, we don't eat a lot of raw veggies. Most all of ours are steamed and his favorite is broccoli and carrots.
  • My guy doesn't really eat any raw veggies.  He did take a bite of lettuce the other day.  He's otherwise a really good eater, though, so I don't really stress about it.

  • He will only eat frozen peas and suck the juice out of cherry tomatoes. All other vegetables need to be cooked for him to eat.

  • DD loves raw carrots, Kale, Celery, Lettuce... She loves almost all veggies. She hates them cooked if they get mushy.

  • My kiddos are huge fruit and veggie eaters, but don't like a lot of raw veggies. They both love avocado, and DD eats cucumber, peppers, and occasionally carrot sticks raw, DS will eat salad occasionally... everything else needs to be cooked.

  • DS only likes celery. And that's just because of the Wonderpets. I don't understand it. We have given him many veggies since he was a baby, we eat them all the time, and we never pressure him to eat them, but just keep offering them and staying positive about them...but he says "YUCK" and refuses veggies unless I puree them into things.

  • DD loves pretty much any raw veggie. Eats carrots like candy, etc. But the weird ones she will beg for is mushrooms and onions, particularly the mushrooms.
