Maybe find fruit and veg you like, or at least like better than others and start by including more of them in your diet. As your palette adjusts then add in other fruit and veg that you may not have liked previously. If our palettes are overloaded with processed foods, salt, sugar, fat it can skew our taste buds. Flavours that are herbal, peppery, sour, earthy, citrusy, nutty, can seem odd or intense. Finding ways to cook veg to make it shine is a skill too. For example Brussel sprouts are delicious roasted, but repulsive when boiled. Eating good food shouldn’t be a chore, it’s one of life’s pleasures!
That’s just it, I grew up on steamed veg so learning to embrace it was tough. I’d never had lentils till I moved out of home either. Now I kinda love ‘em.
