Is it normal to not like vegetables?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, plenty of people dislike some or even most vegetables, often because of their taste or texture. You don’t have to love every vegetable, though finding a few you can tolerate makes getting a balanced diet easier.

Yes—vegetable dislike is pretty common. Bitter flavors, mushy textures, or bad childhood memories of overcooked broccoli can make the whole category sound unappealing. And the way vegetables are cooked can make a big difference; roasted, crunchy, or mixed into a favorite dish may work better for you.

You don’t need to force yourself to enjoy every vegetable. Try a few different types and preparations now and then, and look for fruits, beans, or other foods you do like to help round out your meals.
