About This Quiz

Kids are always told that eating their vegetables will help them grow big and tall. But if that was what made you grow, why did they taste so gross? No kid wants to sit at the table until they're done eating their spinach and peas when there's cartoons to be watched and house to be played. But vegetables are a key part of life, especially if you're trying to figure out your spirit vegetable. This is the vegetable that you've always liked, no matter what. The one that you feel is you in vegetable form. It's not always going to please people, but that's not the point.

Which vegetable makes you feel your best? Believe it or not, not all vegetables are healthy for everyone. Some are too fibrous, while others can cause an allergic reaction. If you always make people sick to their stomach, then maybe that's the vegetable for you, but we highly doubt that! Answer these carefully designed questions to constantly keep you thinking about you, your life and the vegetables you like or dislike. That way, we'll be able to tell you what your spirit vegetable is. Don't believe us? Take the quiz now and find out for yourself!
