List of culinary vegetables

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness.
Revisions and sourced additions are welcome.

This is a list of vegetables in the culinary sense. This means that the list includes some botanical fruits such as pumpkins, and doesn't include herbs, spices, cereals and most culinary fruits and culinary nuts. Some culinary vegetables (seaweeds like laver) are not even members of the plant kingdom.
