I'm talking plants for eating so eating CROS doesn't qualify.
Green veggies like peas, green beans, asparagus, broccoli, corn and carrots and cauliflower (although not green would still qualify), brussels sprouts, and others that you want to add...
Veggies that you would eat as a side dish. Steamed, boiled, microwaved, grilled, roasted, blanched, etc.
Things like lettuce, sweet peppers and cucumbers would fall into the salad category so they are not on the table for this discussion.
I'd have to go with my top 5, in order, as:
- #1a, Peas. If not fresh then go frozen, not a fan of mushy canned peas.
- #1b, Green beans. Again, if not fresh then go frozen. Canned green beans if zombie apocalypse. I can do canned green beans if needed.
- #2 Corn. Best is off the cob but if out of season, frozen corn and steamed would suffice as a replacement, canned corn is for making other stuff like soups. Not a big fan of canned corn since frozen corn is readily available.
- #3 Carrots (boiled and glazed), fresh. Canned carrots suck.
- #4 Broccoli (steamed). Fresh or frozen. Do they even sell canned Broccoli? If so not gonna try it.
- #5 Asparagus (grilled or roasted). Again, fresh. Not sure they sell frozen asparagus but I have seen them in cans and have no urge to try them.
