This is a list of vegetables in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical fruits like pumpkins and doesn't include herbs, spices, cereals and most culinary fruits and culinary nuts. Some culinary vegetables (seaweeds like nori) are not even members of the 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 desserts, snacks or juices. 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 juices.
