For example, you could choose fresh broccoli and compare it to steamed broccoli. Coleslaw made from shredded cabbage with microwaved cabbage leaves. Encourage your children to touch, smell and taste these leafy and stem parts of the plant! When working with this kind of vegetable, plan to offer a dip or sauce to help soften the flavors and increase acceptance.
