I'm 35 and only just starting to become a bit more ok with cilantro. Anyone can grow.
That's the main reason I give my wife any kind of break. It wasn't until my late 30s that I expanded my regular eating of fruits and vegetables. I ate them before, but not as much or willingness to try new ways of preparing, vegetable-only meals, etc.

Still, it can be trying to be married to a vegetarian that is really a carbohydratarian. She occasionally eats cooked onions, roasted asparagus, steamed broccoli and spinach or romaine salad. No fruits at all.

My wife won't even eat cooked fruit, also citing texture. Even though the difference between a fresh apple and baked apple (as in a pie) is dramatic.

I've tried to explain to her that all fruits, fresh or cooked have different textures. It doesn't matter.

I could make fruit bars that were more bar-like (sugar, flour, oats) with a thin veneer of fruit and she'd be turned off.

Pancakes with blueberries? "Please make some plain for me."

Overpriced and over sugared Jamba Juice-like drinks though, that's A-OK.
