Why is it that almost all toddlers around the age of 2-3 have a tendency to just want carbs and hate vegetables? Especially green vegetables? I know that toddlers are fussy, like to control things, and are afraid of new foods. But why is it almost universally vegetables that they hate, when they’re so essential for our nutrition?
In: Biology
Our sense of taste changes as we age.
Young children have a higher sensitivity for bitter taste, so children should be expected to have a different reaction
Also, people tend to over cook or poorly prepare most veggies. So don’t over cook your veggies and be prepared to include salt and butter (or olive oil)
