PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Green
Giant®, the iconic brand synonymous with delicious and
high-quality vegetables for families, announced today that despite
a great national debate, broccoli remains America's favorite
vegetable. The brand polled over 5,000 Americans in an open-ended
survey timed to National Eat Your Vegetables Day, which is
Monday, June 17.
This year, even more states favored the controversial green than
in 2018, cementing its place as America's favorite.
Additional survey findings include:
- Broccoli Reigns Supreme: For the second year in a row,
broccoli holds the number one spot as America's favorite vegetable
with 39 states choosing it as the favorite
- New Veggies on the Block: Cauliflower (Montana) and asparagus (Alaska) appeared on the map this year as state
favorites for the first time
- Not-So-Hot Potatoes: Only one state voted the potato as
its favorite vegetable in 2019 (Arkansas), compared to five states that chose
it in 2018
- So Long, Cucumber: Cucumber is noticeably absent from
the list this year. Last year it was the state favorite of
New Mexico and Louisiana.

agreed to take a survey naming their favorite vegetable. The
survey was conducted from April 26,
2019 - May 10, 2019 and the
