Do worms prefer fruits or veggies?

Do worms compost better in vegetables or fruit??

Hmmm. Interesting question. In my observation, worms like both but prefer certain varieties of each. I would say their favorite vegetable is without a doubt sweet potatoes (cooked) and their favorite fruit is watermelon but cantelope comes in a strong second. If I had to choose one over the other (which I would never do) I would choose feeding fruits.
The reason I think they should get fruits and vegetables is to enrich the final product: the castings. So that it is more nurtient rich for your garden.
Great question!
