Consumer Trends: The Vegetables People Hate

Ranker.com, a crowdsourcing website that relies on “the wisdom of crowds,” has collected the aggregated opinion of over 1,500 voters on the list of “Vegetables I Won’t Eat.” Voters are able to vote up the veggies they hate the most, and vote down the ones that aren’t that bad.

(PRWEB) — Whether people are 4 or 40, some vegetables are just gross. Some may still try to like them. Some people tell themselves, “I’m older now. My taste buds have changed.

Ranker.com, a crowdsourcing website that relies on “the wisdom of crowds,” has collected the aggregated opinion of over 1,500 voters on the list of “Vegetables I Won’t Eat.” Voters are able to vote up the veggies they hate the most, and vote down the ones that aren’t that bad. If you think that you could easily predict all of the vegetables on the list, you may be wrong. The top 10 varies from what you would expect (Brussels Sprouts) and includes some passionately-hated veggies that you don’t commonly see in many households (Chard). The Top 10 Vegetables I Won’t Eat are:

1.     Radish

3.     Beet
4.     Brussels Sprouts
5.     Lima Bean
6.     Eggplant
7.     Olive
8.     Celery

Vegetarian Elise Hennigan’s diet consists heavily of vegetables, but even she avoids some items from this list. Says Elise, “I really enjoy things like celery and cabbage, but radish makes my taste buds cry.”
