Children can learn to eat new vegetables if they are introduced regularly before the age of two, suggests a University of Leeds study.
Even fussy eaters can be encouraged to eat more greens if they are offered them five to 10 times, it found.
The research team gave artichoke puree to 332 children aged between four and 38 months from the UK, France and Denmark.
One in five cleared their plates while 40% learned to like artichoke.

Not a fan of swede when I was little - my Mum used to mash it in with my potatoes to make me eat it! 🙂
