What 10 True Vegetables Do You Consume Most? page 7

I surprised how little chard I am seeing on these lists. Really, you have no idea what you are missing. Waaay better than kale or collard greens (which are good).

For me, it's just a matter of economical value. Chard is awesome, but I can get 2-3x as much kale for the same price as the amount of one bunch of chard. Likewise for collard greens. Chard is a very occasional veggie for me.

Brussels sprouts
cauliflower
broccoli/broccoli rabe
fennel bulb (so good in salads and in fish dishes, raw or cooked)
lacinato kale
swiss chard
sweet potatoes/ Okinawan yams (easy to find at Asian markets)
asparagus
spinach
haricot verts (the skinny french green beans)

bonus veggie: celeriac root. I love making creamy soup out of it.
I also love all winter squashes and parsnips.

In no particular order, we eat the most of these vegetables:

Broccoli
Onion
Garlic
Brussels Spouts
Spinach
Carrots
Cauliflower
Sweet potatoes
Mushrooms
Lettuce of varying kinds (romaine and iceberg are our most common, probably).

But for interest, I also LOVE hearts of palm. I've never checked what nutritional value they have, but I love eating them out of a can cold. I've heard they're good on salad, and I've used them as a noodle sub for homemade macaroni and cheese and it was delish!

I want to know what TRUE vegetables you consume. I am looking to expand my selection.

What the hell is a TRUE vegetable you ask?

Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onion, Garlic, Carrot, Asparagus, Sauerkraut, Artichoke, Seaweed, etc.

Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Zucchini, Squash, Avocado, Olives are NOT veggies since they have a SEED.

I can't wait to discover more veggies!

The term "vegetable" is a traditionnal culinary term, not a scientific term. It is basically defined as any eatible part of a plant other than the fruit how non-sweet fruits like the olive, zuchini and cucumber have been traditionnally been considered vegetables.
