Below is a clean text list of vegetables in alphabetical order. This list includes foods that are not traditionally eaten in the United States. However one might be able to find said vegetables in the “ethnic” section of your local grocery store. If you need an excel list of vegetables, you need only put your email in the form at the bottom of the page and a link to the excel will be emailed to you.
Though we’ve divided this list into three sections, if you’re wondering whether sweet potatoes are a vegetable the answer is YES. They can be found under Root Vegetables.
