***Apologies in advance if this has already come up but I couldn’t find anything similar in this sub.***
For the last 15 years or so, I’ve been throwing in a bag of baby spinach or wild rocket when I’m cooking dinner.
This could be a pasta dish or a curry or a stew.
The baby spinach or rocket cooks down to nothing so it’s not an obnoxious addition which takes away from the meal but at the same time you’re getting so many vital nutrients which could be missing from your diet.
That’s how my kids learnt to appreciate it from when they were toddlers.

If you or kids are supertasters for bitter, then pick something less bitter. In general, baking/broiling/airfrying veg makes it more tasty and cuts down on bitterness. Kids are more sensitive to bitter and weird textures than adults.
My sister got her kids addicted to roasted broccoli and now has to do a double batch. Win
Advert.
I use frozen spinach – never goes off and just needs to defrost in a sauce !
I use this. I have to chop it into tiny pieces but the baby spinach is almost tasteless. I put it in almost everything for my kids.
