Most children crinkle their noses at the sight of green vegetables and fruits. Particularly when it comes to finishing leafy greens on the plate, there is always a struggle at the dining table. In fact, most vegetables hardly seem as appealing as junk food such as pizza or burger. Truth be told, most of us were no different as kids either, were we? We realised the importance of eating our greens much later in life, or at least learnt to disguise it cleverly so as to no miss the health benefits.
