小的時(shí)候不吃，長(zhǎng)大后愛(ài)到不離不棄的食物

WHEN YOU WERE 6: That vegetable that kind of looks like a tree is disgusting.

六歲的時(shí)候：長(zhǎng)得像樹(shù)的蔬菜……惡心。

AS AN ADULT: A member of the cabbage family, broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin A and C.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：作為甘藍(lán)家族的一員，西蘭花是維生素A和維生素C的絕佳來(lái)源。

Spinach 菠菜

WHEN YOU WERE 6: Ew. No matter how many cartoon characters eat this, you won't.

六歲的時(shí)候：呃……不管有多少卡通人物愛(ài)吃，我就是不吃。

AS AN ADULT: Spinach is lovely and can be eaten cooked or raw. A mighty source of vitamin A, 100 grams of spinach has about 23 calories.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：菠菜可愛(ài)到可烹飪可生吃。富含維生素A，100克菠菜只有23卡路里。

Coffee 咖啡

WHEN YOU WERE 6: Yuck, that brown stuff my teacher drinks! Beg to have a cup too. Even after six lumps of sugar, it still tastes horrible.

六歲的時(shí)候：惡心……我老師才會(huì)喝的棕不拉幾的東西。求著父母才能喝到一杯，加完六大勺糖，還是很難喝啊。

AS AN ADULT: Need it for survival. Coffee has become your drug. While studies have linked coffee to protecting the brain and lowering risk of death, we also know it gives us that much-needed energy boost in the AM. (And also should not be consumed by children.)

長(zhǎng)大成人后：沒(méi)咖啡活不下去。喝咖啡簡(jiǎn)直上癮。有研究顯示咖啡與保護(hù)大腦和降低死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)有關(guān)聯(lián)。而且我們知道咖啡是挺過(guò)上午的能量推進(jìn)劑。(而且，小孩兒不能喝。)

Dark Chocolate 黑巧克力

WHEN YOU WERE 6: The consolation prize when all the milk chocolate's gone.

六歲的時(shí)候：牛奶巧克力沒(méi)了之后的安慰獎(jiǎng)。

AS AN ADULT: Anything over 70 percent cocoa makes you feel like a real, bill-paying adult.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：能吃可可脂含量70%以上的巧克力才算是真·賺錢(qián)·成年人。

Runny Eggs 溏心蛋

WHEN YOU WERE 6: Slimy, slippery, and sometimes goopy.

六歲的時(shí)候：黏糊糊、滑膩膩、臟兮兮的。

AS AN ADULT: So, so lucky to have it sunny-side-up.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：煎蛋只煎一面的小確幸。

Eggplant 茄子

WHEN YOU WERE 6: Squishy, weird, why isn't the inside purple? Won't try. Won't try.

六歲的時(shí)候：軟塌塌濕乎乎的，奇怪的是里面怎么不是紫色的呢?我不吃，我不吃。

AS AN ADULT: A meaty vegetable, whoa. Low in calories (about 25 per 100 grams), eggplant also provides fiber.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：哇，吃起來(lái)像肉的蔬菜!熱量很低(100克茄子才25卡)，而且茄子還富含纖維。

Cauliflower 菜花

WHEN YOU WERE 6: AH! BRAINS!

六歲的時(shí)候：啊!長(zhǎng)得太像腦子了!

AS AN ADULT: The kale of 2014, cauliflower is great for your liver and can help with digestion problems.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：2014年的羽衣甘藍(lán)。菜花對(duì)肝臟有好處，還可以幫助解決消化問(wèn)題。

Fish 魚(yú)

WHEN YOU WERE 6: There are bones, skin and sometimes I feel like the fish is looking at me.

六歲的時(shí)候：有魚(yú)刺、有魚(yú)皮……而且有時(shí)候魚(yú)就在看著我!

AS AN ADULT: We all know fish like salmon are rich in protein and healthy fats. Studies have linked oily fishes to increasing your brain size and preventing memory loss.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：我們都知道，像是三文魚(yú)這類(lèi)的魚(yú)，富含蛋白質(zhì)和健康脂肪。研究顯示多吃脂肪多的魚(yú)類(lèi)可以幫助增加腦容量并且預(yù)防記憶力退化。

Spicy food 辣味食品

WHEN YOU WERE 6: Why would you eat something that hurts?

六歲的時(shí)候：干嘛要吃辣得嘴痛的食物啊?

AS AN ADULT: Even when it burns, you keep wanting more.

長(zhǎng)大成人后：就算辣，還是想不停吃。

Avocadoes 牛油果

I cringe to think of the times I pushed slices of avocado to the side of my plate, wasting God's miracle fruit every time my mom made Mexican food or tossed it in a salad.

以前我會(huì)把一片片的牛油果都扒拉到盤(pán)子一邊，號(hào)稱(chēng)上帝奇跡的水果每次都被我浪費(fèi)，不管我媽是拿來(lái)做墨西哥菜還是把它拌在沙拉里?，F(xiàn)在想起來(lái)都覺(jué)得罪惡。

These days, avocado is an essential component of my daily diet. I feel incomplete without it in at least one of my meals, and for good reason. It's not only delicious, but it’s one of the healthiest fruits out there.

然而現(xiàn)如今，牛油果是我每日飲食不可或缺的一部分了，哪一餐不吃我就覺(jué)得少了點(diǎn)什么，而且是有原因的，牛油果不僅好吃，而且能算是最健康的水果之一了。

Tomatoes 西紅柿

Tomatoes were not allowed on my plate. I found them slimy and tart. Many kids don’t like tomatoes unless they are really sweet or turned into something more appetizing like ketchup. Even as an adult, I picked tomatoes off my salad.

以前我的盤(pán)子里是不允許出現(xiàn)西紅柿的，我覺(jué)得西紅柿黏糊糊的，而且還酸澀得很。如果西紅柿不甜，或者不做成更好吃的形式(像是番茄醬)，孩子們是不會(huì)喜歡吃的。長(zhǎng)大后，我還是會(huì)把西紅柿從沙拉里面挑出來(lái)。

Now, I love tomatoes and eat them every single day. Tomatoes are highly versatile and can be made into sauces, soups, entrees and even dessert.

不過(guò)現(xiàn)在呢，我愛(ài)上西紅柿了，每天都得吃。而且西紅柿適合各種烹飪，可以做成醬汁，可以做湯，可以做前菜甚至甜點(diǎn)。

Mushrooms 蘑菇

Mushrooms were also on my “don’t even think about it” list. I didn’t like how they looked, smelled or tasted. My mother would make mushroom gravy and I would carefully spoon the gravy onto my food trying to avoid any pieces of mushroom. Who wants to eat a fungus anyway?

以前蘑菇位列在我的“想都不要想”食物清單。長(zhǎng)得也不好看，也不好聞，還不好吃，我不喜歡。我媽以前會(huì)做蘑菇肉湯，然后我就會(huì)小心翼翼地用勺兒舀湯，把每片蘑菇都撇開(kāi)。誰(shuí)會(huì)想吃真菌啊?

When I grew up, I was like, “Who doesn't love mushrooms?” Most types of mushrooms are full of potassium and copper.

但是長(zhǎng)大后，我想的是，誰(shuí)不喜歡蘑菇啊?大多數(shù)蘑菇都富含鉀和銅。
