When you say leafy greens, which ones do you mean?
Don't worry, i am not going to try to force feed you!
The reason i ask is cos... well... they are not my favourite, either.
I consider boiled cabbage, cooked spinach, steamed kale as all pretty vile.
But i have eaten my own bodyweight (several times over) of raw kale and spinach in green smoothies, which i adore.
And i love a good saag paneer (indian veg side dish of spinach, cheese and spices)
Love coleslaw
And cabbage stir fried with beef mince and peas is astonishingly good. Or bacon. Need try that, because i think, with black pepper, that's going to work really well too...
So i suppose i am saying that you might find some surprising deliciousnesses, if you think outside the box. But please, there is no point forcing yourself to eat something revolting just because 'they' say it is good for you. That way lies madness, nausea and projectile vomiting.
