I would have to go with turnips. Incredibly versatile and nutritious root, plus delicious greens to fry up

People say they hate cabbage all the time, but cabbage is really great. You can make slaw with it, you can ferment it into sauerkraut or kimchi, you can steam it for a side or to put in a sandwich, you can add it to any kind of filling or stuffing, or you can roll other stuff inside it, you can boil it in a soup, it gives a great flavor to vegetable broth, it’s really nutritious and it keeps for much longer than other leafy greens.
Seems weird to me to hate cabbage, but I suppose there is a certain association with certain very bland cooking? Idk.
I love most vegetables, but cabbage isn’t one of them. I don’t like any of the things you just mentioned.
Popcorn
As a couch potato, I agree
I like beets for the same reason, but cabbage is underrated in its versatility. I’m making Romanian sarmale tomorrow with pork/beef/rice cabbage rolls: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/sarmale/ . Much better than dolmas and the cabbage adds so much body and flavour to the dish.
I had never really used cabbage to wrap things. Thanks for the tip and idea
I feel like most of them. People hate on broccoli, but I think it’s amazing. Zucchini is one of my favorites.
Spinach. Its amazing. Kale same deal. Its all in how its prepared.
Jicama is delicious cut up into little strips and eaten raw. Never cooked with it though
Bitter melon. Love the stuff. Stir fry with burned garlic and oyster sauce.
Betel leaves too. Stir fry them with beef slices and black pepper, and maybe some sauce.
Moringa leaves. The tree’s hardy and ecologically sustainable. The drumstick fruits and the pods are edible but the leaves are the most nutritious. It also has the highest protein among leafy greens.
In south and south east asia, we consider it medicinal. But actually, it’s just nutritious. We feed them in soup form to malnourished people and nursing mothers.
