A recent study that was participated in by 2,000 adults has revealed 40 foods that fussy eaters don’t want to try.

It revealed that one in ten has never tried eating certain vegetables including kale, celery, and leek. Some even pushed Brussels sprouts to the side of their plates during Christmas dinner.

Meanwhile, one in five never tasted scampi or sardines while one in ten has never tasted tuna, salmon, or goat’s cheese.

One fifth of the respondents never had olives and 10per cent of them never ate broccoli when they were children.

A Seven Seas spokesman said: 'It's surprising to see that many staple foods are regularly avoided or haven't been tried.

‘It’s hard to keep track and manage our diets day to day to ensure we’re setting ourselves up well, but there is clearly a worrying trend of people avoiding many of the foods that can be of great benefit to health and well-being.

‘The average Western diet does not provide the levels of Omega 3 recommended for health because many people do not eat enough oily fish on a regular basis.’
