Of you go to the far east,including Hawaii..you notice how healthy most are..earth foods but served with seasoning.I ate very good cabbage rolls with balsamic vinegar,fruit juices and a heavy dark sugar.very good imo. They don't boil them in water..but a fish/seafood stock ( fish heads and blood).
My bride won't touch anything like that..but she will eat salted canned asparagus...microwaved.
And people say I'm nuts..I
Brussel Sprouts.
