In a recent survey, broccoli secured the number one spot, yet again, as America’s favorite vegetable, followed by carrots and corn.
Green Giant’s annual Favorite Veggie Survey polled more than 5,000 Americans.
Although broccoli remains America’s favorite, the popularity of corn substantially increased over the past year.
The survey found 100% of consumers surveyed who picked broccoli as their favorite vegetable noted taste as a top factor in making their selection.
However, from 2019 to 2021, the number of states selecting carrot as the favorite vegetable has increased 500%.
Those selecting broccoli has decreased 23%
Compared to survey data from 2020, seven times more states selected corn as a favorite in 2021.
And while broccoli is America’s favorite vegetable, according to the general population survey, corn is the runaway favorite vegetable among Americans ages 55-72.
Tomato and cucumber were noticeable favorites in 2020 that didn’t make the favorites list in 2021.
