List of vegetables

This is a list of plants that have a culinary role as vegetables. "Vegetable" can be used in several senses, including culinary, botanical and legal. This list includes 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. Legal vegetables are defined for regulatory, tax and other purposes. An example would include the tomato, which is a botanical berry, but a culinary vegetable according to United States law. The United States also considers tomato sauce on pizza a vegetable for serving size purposes in school lunches in the US.

Some culinary vegetables such as laver are not even members of the plant kingdom, although mushrooms and other fungi are kept off the list for this reason.
