1. Broccoli
2. Peas
3. Beans ( are high protein seeds and truly versatile)
4. Brussels Sprouts

6. Red Bell Peppers (actually fruits, however are commonly treated as vegetables)
7. Beets
8. Leaf Amaranth
9. Carrots
10. Leafy Greens
1. Pak Choy (Brassica rapa Chinensis group)
Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa, subspecies pekinensis and chinensis) are actually two different types of Chinese leaf vegetables that are commonly applied in Chinese cuisine. These types of vegetables are both relevant to the cabbage from the West, and can said to be the similar types of the common turnip.
2. Legumes or Podded Vegetables
A legume fruit or podded vegetable is some sort of dry fruit that evolves from a simple carpel on both sides. A layman term for this fruit is a pod where there are seeds of legume plants. Legumes that I like including clover, alfalfa, lentils, peas, beans, soy, lupins, peanuts, soy and carob.
3. Corn
Corn – It is a North American native vegetable and is sacred by many native tribes. Corn is also calling maze which is widely consume as staple for many households.
4. Potatoes
Nothing finer than a steaming plate of mashed potatoes. Potatoes can said to be a staple crop for most families in the U.S.
5. Rhubarb
This is a plant that features with big leaves and grow out of dense moist stalks which has a quite unique flower odor. These stalks are commonly consumed as a fruit once sweetened and cooked. Rhubarb seemed to be originated from China but has become European favorite dishes long ago since Roman times.
6. Swede
This vegetable can said to be a cross between cabbages and turnips swedes and this root vegetable only carries a low calory.
7. Agave species
The flowers and flower buds of Agave species are edible. You need to boil them before consuming.
8. Chard (beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris)
Chard can also called as beets where the leaves of these two plants appear to be the same. Chard is also like spinach that taste a bit bitter and the salty flavor taste nice for me.
9. Celery (apium graveolens)
The root and leaves of celery are used as vegetable or spice. Most consumers identified Celery fruits as seeds which are not really commonly spice eaten by people.
10. Sea Kale (crambe maritima)
Sea kale is very famous in Europe and you shouldn’t make it to be the same category as sea kale beet as it is not. People are using it to refine oil from the seeds which can be a substitution for whale oil.
Cellulose and starch
Cellulose and starch are two identical polymers. Actually both of them are made from the same glucose and monomer which provide consumers with high carb nutrient.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms not technically a vegetable, but been existed for very long time in this world. Mushrooms don’t use sunlight to produce energy, hence they have a totally distinctive taste range compare to other vegetable.
Tomatoes
Also not technically a vegetable, but is a fruit instead. You can grows tomatoes by yourself since the less flavor powdery fruits available in shopping mall not really taste good.
Vegetables tend to be low in fat and providing rich minerals and vitamins for human bodies. Virtually all vegetables carry with green, yellow, orange can supply sufficient nutritions to us like magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C, and vitamin K.
