Soft, mushy ones. I wasn't allowed to eat any veggies for 8 weeks. Once I could eat them again, they had to be pretty soft - well cooked broccoli was good. Canned pumpkin/yams another good one. I like to make pumpkin custard, using more eggs than normal pumpkin pie to up the Protein. I use a little Monkfruit sweetener and bake without a crust. It's a great way to get in an orange veggie + protein. Canned beets, well cooked green Beans, turnip all good. You can put green leafies in the blender for smoothies. 6 months out and I am just able to eat raw veggies. They have to be chewed to mush and swallowed very carefully in tiny bits. More often than not, I make a veggie Soup with shredded carrot, cabbage, onion, shredded broccoli stems. Made with Bone Broth as stock, it has protein and is a good filler if I get the "hungries."

I eat them all! But I'm very partial to leafy greens and the cruciferous/sulforophane families with special interests in onions/garlic/asparagus and mushrooms of all kinds. (Oh and avocados = fruit. )
