Is it normal to not like vegetables as an adult?
Yes, it’s normal to dislike vegetables as an adult; taste preferences don’t automatically change when you grow up. If you want to eat more of them, trying different preparations or focusing on the ones you can tolerate may help.
Plenty of adults still dislike vegetables, whether it’s the taste, texture, smell, or memories of being pressured to eat them as a kid. There’s no age when your taste buds are supposed to suddenly start cheering for broccoli.
People are split on how much it matters: some see it as a harmless preference, while others worry about getting enough variety in their diet. If you want to give vegetables another shot, roasting, blending, or trying them with a dip or sauce can make them more appealing. You don’t have to love every vegetable—or pretend you do.
