I have been a picky eater since I was child (hands up anyone else who took the picky eater Flintstone vitamins 🙌). I have made great strides in improving this and will try almost anything at least once (I draw the line at food that still has eyes and is staring back at me).
Unfortunately, there are still a lot of foods I don't like, especially quick and easy healthy ones. I'm not a fruit fan. I like apples, but only when they're peeled. Bananas are okay when paired with peanut butter or Nutella, but not otherwise. I've never liked berries. As for vegetables, I enjoy those a lot more! But only cooked. I can't get behind raw vegetables and that crunch.
These are just a couple of examples, all leading to my main question: Is it possible to acquire a taste?
I know having "an acquired taste" is a common phrase, but is this something you can actually do? If I stated eating raw carrots, even if I find them disgusting, could I eventually start liking them? If I knew it was possible, I would be much more inclined to eat foods I don't like with the hope that someday I will.
I think acquiring a taste for some healthier foods would be incredibly beneficial for my health journey. Thank you in advance for your responses!
