Limp, mushy, and tasteless is no way to go through dinner.

The '60s, '70s, and '80s were a terrible time for vegetables. More moms were starting to work outside the home. More kids were being raised in single-parent households. Time was getting more and more scarce, and the processed food industry was happy to step in.

The result? Tasteless canned vegetables. Insta-boil frozen vegetables. TV dinners. Recipes that minimized effort - and tasted like it. A generation grew up gumming their way through mushy, bitter carrots and spinach and green beans and broccoli, and deciding that anything good for you must taste awful.

Gradually, overstressed, overextended parents have found ways to make vegetables good again without spending hours preparing them. Like fresh salads. Like stir-fry. Like this microwave steamer set.

Add a little water. Stick it in the microwave. In a couple of minutes, you’ve got cooked vegetables that have lost none of their flavor, none of their snap. Forget the acrid, limp asparagus of your youth, the squishy green beans and broccoli you grew up hating.

Maybe kids - whether your kids or just the kid inside you - don’t automatically hate the taste of vegetables like we thought we did. Maybe the problem was that we never actually tasted them.
