This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]]. A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]]. ==Western Brassicas== [[Image:Fractal Broccoli.jpg|150px|thumb|Closeup of romanesco broccoli.]] * [[Broccoli]] ([[Brassica oleracea Italica group]]) * [[Brussels sprout]] ([[Brassica oleracea Gemmifera group]]) * [[Cabbage]] ([[Brassica oleracea Capitata group]]) * [[Cauliflower]] ([[Brassica oleracea Botrytis group]]) * [[Kale]] ([[Brassica oleracea Acephala group]]) ** [[Collard]] (Brassica oleracea Acephala group) * [[Rapini]] ([[Brassica rapa var. ruvo]]) ==Asian Brassicas== <!-- Removed [[Image:ChineseWhiteCabbage.jpg|150px|thumb|Chinese White Cabbage]] Image is missing --> * [[Kai-lan|Kai-lan]] (''[[Brassica rapa var. alboglabra]]'') * [[Bok choy|Bok choy]] (also spelt ''[[Bok choi]]'')(''[[Brassica rapa var. chinensis]]'') (''[[Brassica rapa var. pekinensis]]'') * [[Komatsuna]] (''[[Brassica rapa var. perviridis]]'') * [[Mizuna greens]] (''[[Brassica rapa var. nipposinica]]'') * [[Oriental mustard]] (''[[Brassica juncea]]'') ==Leafy and salad vegetables== {{main|leaf vegetable}} [[Image:Img 0717 garden cress.jpg|thumb|garden cress]] [[Image:Iceberg lettuce in SB.jpg|thumb|Iceberg lettuce field in Northern [[Santa Barbara County]]]] [[Image:Spinacia oleracea Spinazie bloeiend.jpg|thumb|Spinach in flower]] * [[Amaranth]] (''[[Amaranthus cruentus]]'') * [[Arugula]] (''[[Eruca sativa]]'') * [[Vernonia|Bitterleaf]] (''[[Vernonia calvoana]]'') * [[Catsear]] (''[[Hypochaeris radicata]]'') * [[Celtuce]] (''[[Lactuca sativa var. asparagina]]'') * [[Ceylon spinach]] (''[[Basella alba]]'') * [[Chicory]] (''[[Cichorium intybus]]'') * [[Chinese Mallow]] (''[[Malva verticillata]]'') * [[Chrysanthemum]] (''[[Chrysanthemum coronarium]]'') * [[Corn salad]] (''[[Valerianella locusta]]'') * [[Garden cress]] (''[[Lepidium sativum]]'') * [[Dandelion]] (''[[Taraxacum officinale]]'') * [[Endive]] (''[[Cichorium endivia]]'') * [[Epazote]] (''[[Chenopodium ambrosioides]]'') * [[Fat Hen|Fat hen]] (''[[Chenopodium album]]'') * [[Fiddlehead]] (''[[Pteridium aquilinum]], [[Athyrium esculentum]]'') * [[Fluted pumpkin]] (''[[Telfairia occidentalis]]'') * [[Golden samphire]] (''[[Inula crithmoides]]'') * [[Good King Henry]] (''[[Chenopodium bonus-henricus]]'') * [[Ice Plant|Iceplant]] (''[[Mesembryanthemum crystallinum]]'') * [[Baobab]] or [[Kuka]] (''[[Adansonia]]'' spp.) * [[Lagos bologi]] (''[[Talinum fruticosum]]'') * [[Land cress]] (''[[Barbarea verna]]'') * [[Lettuce]] (''[[Lactuca sativa]]'') * [[Lizard's tail]] (''[[Houttuynia cordata]]'') * [[Melokhia]] (''[[Corchorus olitorius]], [[Corchorus capsularis]]'') * [[Mustard]] (''[[Sinapis alba]]'') * [[New Zealand Spinach]] (''[[Tetragonia tetragonioides]]'') * [[Orache]] (''[[Atriplex hortensis]]'') * [[Radicchio]] (''[[Cichorium intybus]]'') * [[Rock samphire]] (''[[Crithmum maritimum]]'') * [[Rapeseed|Salad rape]] (''[[Brassica napus]]'') * [[Sea Beet|Sea beet]] (''[[Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima]]'') * [[Seakale]] (''[[Crambe maritima]]'') * [[Sierra Leone bologi]] (''[[Crassocephalum]]'' spp.) * [[Celosia|Soko]] (''[[Celosia argentea]]'') * [[Sorrel]] (''[[Rumex acetosa]]'') * [[Spinach]] (''[[Spinacia oleracea]]'') * [[Summer purslane]] (''[[Portulaca oleracea]]'') * [[Chard|Swiss chard]] (''[[Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens]]'') * [[Watercress]] (''[[Nasturtium officinale]]'') * [[Water spinach]] (''[[Ipomoea aquatica]]'') * [[Miner's Lettuce]] or [[Winter purslane]] (''[[Claytonia perfoliata]]'') ==Fruiting and Flowering Vegetables== [[Image:Avocado.jpeg|thumb|Avocado fruit (cv.
