        How? Like… literally how?

        I grow kale and it looks nothing like the plant in the OP. It looks like a regular bunch of kale.

        Or is this like “all 6 vegetables come from one main vegetable”, kind of like how all citrus fruits comes from citron.

        I’ve had this discussion before, had the “proper way” of preparing them explained to me and made them according to these instructions. Turns out, I just don’t like the taste. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    i am reporting this post for promulgating misinformation. this meme has some truth in it, in that these six vegetables are all brassica oleracea. but, the factoid in the center of the meme is false: brassica oleracea can be many things but (despite brassicaceae being “the mustard and cabbage family”) brassica oleracea is NOT actually ever called “wild mustard plant”.

      Mustard the condiments is from the seeds of different species. There are two types, oriental Brassica juncea and white mustard _Sinapsis alba _ that can be used.

      Brassica juncea has been cultivated for a long time. With lots of different cultivars.

      We eat like 2 plants total. One is brassica mentioned above.

      The other one is nightshade. In the nightshade family we find tomatos, aubergine, tobacco, peppers, physalis, potatoes and of course the extremely toxic bell-donna (deadly nightshade)

        Just a small correction: you missed an “a” in belladonna.

        source
    • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      i mean mustard (the condiment) is basically just a flavourful sugary starch paste, anything tastes good with 15 grams of sugar.
      It’s also a completely different part of the plant, it’s like going “man i like apples but the seeds taste horrible! how odd”

      source
      • rumschlumpel@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        The mustard you’re eating seems to be quite different from mine. Mine has a whopping 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per 100g, some of brassica vegetables probably have more than that.

    To all the veggie haters:

    Broccoli recipe:

    1. Fry broccoli with paprika and small pieces of meat or tofu in a pan until brown.
    2. Add water and seasonings.
    3. Steam to desired hardness.
    4. Serve with rice or couscous.

    Cauliflower recipe:

    1. Make brown butter by heating up butter and adding breadcrumbs to soak it up.
    2. Serve it on enough steamed cauliflower to justify the amount of brown butter you are about to eat.

      Hard no. Extremely hard no. This is the kind of crap our parents would make and serve.

      For anyone with taste buds, let’s be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.

      Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them leaves you with unflavorful mush. Like you’re cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.

        I’m sorry your parents were terrible cooks. Steamed veggies can be very delicious what done right, and it’s not that difficult to do.

        en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide

        This is just patently false. Steaming vegetables preserves more nutrients than both boiling and grilling. Plus, anything caramelized has Acrylamide in it.

      Sprouts do well with Braising, this is roughly how I do them, based on a whim that turned out fantastic.

      1. Halve and clean your sprouts, salt and pepper them
      2. Sear cut side down in oil of your choice. Bacon is the classic but absolutely not required if you want to do it vegan, maybe use some smoked paprika to get the smokey flavour, add aromatics like garlic near the end, it burns easy.
      3. Deglaze with balsamic vinegar, add enough liquid to just barely cover the bottom of the pan, cover and simmer until happy.

      I know sprouts are far less bitter than they were when I was a kid, but I legit thought I disliked them. Borrowed a lot from braised cabbage recipes, just with a bit more aggressive browning. The sprouts hold up really well to longer cooking IMO (can’t say the same to leeks, braised leeks are great, but not how I did them, turned into a textural nightmare), they’re amazing hot or cold.

    • AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Or, the Italian way: simmer garlic in a pan with olive oil, throw in the vegetables and a bit of water, throw in some salt, cover, cook until soft, check occasionally that it isn’t burning

      This amateur stuff mate.

      Here is a good one, Mashed cauliflower:

      1. Boil cauliflower
      2. submerge mixer with some milk
      3. enjoy the smoothest mash you have ever tried

      Roasted anything (brussel spouts, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus)

      1. Coat in olive oil, salt, garlic powder
      2. air fry or roast

      Enjoy awesome tasting veggies.

      Veggie rice(white rice is for sushi goddamnit)

      1. Satuee some onions, garlic
      2. add some cut up bell peppers, tomatoes
      3. cook for a while
      4. add frozen peas and carrots and a choice of frozen vegetables (broccoli or green beans)
      5. add water and bring to a boil
      6. add the rice and simmer it for the prescribed time +1-2 minutes
      7. let it sit for 10 minutes

      Enjoy a rice full of veggies and color ( I also use a “curry” mix that’s turmeric, koriander and a bunch of other stuff that gives it a nice yellow color, and this way you have your rice and veggies in one and they enhance each other’s flavor.
