When I was little my Dad used to make us drink the veg water! I hated it but we were all robust and certainly, I would say, healthier looking than some of today's kids.

My mum always used to drink a mug of green water if there was enough left over from gravy making, I always turned my nose up at it. She said that during the war sometimes a bowl of greens water and a slice of bread was all they used to get for dinner.

I don't have anything to add to this, but I used to love the water left from boiling cabbage!
