Any time the conversation of vegetables comes up with the kids, chances are they are reluctant to try new ones. If you are not eating vegetables yourself, this is setting a bad example. It is important for both you and your children to get the nutrients that only vegetables can provide.

This article will explore some options that are great for both you and your kids.

One delicious green, that can also act as a meat subsitute and is rich in minerals and antioxidants is eggplant. If you are reluctant to try eggplant, next time you decide to eat or cook Italian, try an eggplant parmesan. It takes just like chicken parmesan and is hard not to enjoy.

Another type of delicious vegetable, when prepared correctly, are red onions. Some people like them raw, while others like them hot. Try making a guacamole and adding some red onions into the mix, or add a few shavings onto your next garden salad.

When it comes to getting vitamin C from your diet, one vegetable trumps the rest; red peppers. In fact, red peppers give you more than a whole day’s value of vitamin C.

When it comes to getting your vitamin K, asparagus is one of the best things you can eat. Grilled asparagus is a personal favorite of mine, but check out some recipes about the different ways you can incorporate this veggie into your diet.

One other type of vegetable that you or your children may enjoy trying is red bell peppers. Try adding some peppers into an omelet the next time you make eggs, or into a fresh garden salad to add some zing to it.

Hopefully you learned something new about some vegetables, which you may have been hesitant to try prior to reading this article.
