    Vegetables in English - Names of Vegetables - English Vocabulary

    A vegetable is the edible part of a plant that is used in cooking or can be eaten raw. They are different from fruit
    in that vegetables don't have seeds. Vegetables are often consumed as salads or cooked as part of a side dish
    or main meal.

    A person who does not eat meat is considered a Vegetarian because they often only eat vegetables (and fruit).

    The informal word for vegetables is veggies.
