- Flipped on Favorites: More than half of the states (54%) swapped their favorite vegetable pick in 2022 including Iowa - which no longer chose corn as the favorite, but instead selected broccoli this year.
- Corn Continues to Grow: Despite Iowa's rebuff of corn, 11 states selected corn as their favorite veggie in 2022. A 37% increase in popularity from 2021.
- Kids Crave Veggies: Contrary to popular belief, more than two thirds of parents surveyed (68%) say their kids enjoy eating vegetables.
