List of culinary vegetables - wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_culinary_vegetables

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

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