My son is 3 and eats anything that's green. He won't touch carrots or anything that is not green except for cauliflower because I tell him it is brocollis friend. I used to fry brocolli in soy sauce for him when he was a baby, I think that's what started it. He absolutely loves his 'brocolli trees'. Anyone have any tips for carrots?! I have tried glazing them with butter and honey (yum) but he won't even taste them!

It's one of the few vegies my boy eats. He used to call it "little green trees" until he learned it was called broccoli. He likes the "little while trees" (which he now knows is called cauliflower) with cheese sauce as well.

Broccoli triggered asthma attacks in the middle one, so I cut it out of the diet, and never really tried with the youngest until he got a bit bigger.

My son if he has finished his broccoli will inform the rest of us that we have to hand over ours... He loves it. I have to be careful though because if he has to much he is up with gas for the rest of the night.. He loves it any way I cook it...

Fortunately grub eats virtually everyhting. including frozen peas. The only thing he won't have is fresh tomato. He will only have it cooked.

When I was preggy and fully breastfeeding him, I couldn't eat it. I would get the worst acid reflux and it would go through him like nothign else then the poor bugger would have the sorest red bum.

Other wise everything goes in that mouth!!

my son loves it when I cook with broccoli I make sure I use a lot because he would pick them up and eat just that (say str fry) he also eats it raw but always has a diarea after. he also loves raw carrots and potatoes cooked any way (boiled, mash, fryed, baked) but thats about it (I think) but funny thing when he stays with my perents (every thr night and friday) he eats everything.

Hi there - This brought back a funny memory or two for me as my middle daughter has adored broccoli since she was 1 . . . Everytime I was doing the groceries 'd give her a raw bit to suck or chew on while I was shopping. People would stare and often many parents would ask how we managed to get her to eat it as they had not had any luck.

Personally I think if they are used to it them yum yum . . . . . My kids are all big vege eaters except for my youngest who is allergic to more than she can eat . . .

Cheers Kellz

When my two grandchildren came into my care they both did not care for vegetables. Now they eat their vegetables and their favourite is .... yes.. broccoli. My grandson Seth just loves it and will ask for more, and funnily I tell him he has to eat the rest of his dinner before he can have anymore. good stuff.

Mine stopped eating peas for a while but would eat them mashed and mixed in with mashed potato. Also, egg plant she never liked until just recently and she's just turned 4.

charlie would have it for breakfast if he was allowed, if he doesn't get broccoli there is a tantrum and he wont stop until he gets it, and he is just like your little one, with charlie you can put a plate of fruit and veg in front of him and you can put a plate of junk and he will go for the fruit and veg everytime,

as my mum keeps telling me enjoy it while it lasts

hugs and kisses

Mine has had broccoli as a favourite food from the time she first tried it which was probably between 8 and 12 months but I really can't remember lol. She'll eat hers, then mine, then the left-overs. Loves pumpkin, carrot and spinnach too.
