By the producer of vegetables
Any edible part of a plant can potentially be used as a vegetable.
Derived from wild plants, many of the vegetables we use for food today have been in
cultivation since prehistory. This long and extensive cultivation has led to huge
diversity (there are over 1000 varieties of potato alone), but vegetables are general
grouped into leaf, fruiting, flowering, podded, stem, bulb, and root types. Despite their
high water content (up to 80 per cent), vegetable are a valuable source of protein,
starch, vitamins, and minerals.
In the broadest sense of the word, vegetable denotes any kind of plant
life or plant product.
In the narrower sense, however, vegetables are any plants or plant parts "that are
eaten either cooked or raw during the principal part of a meal rather than a
dessert". Such plant parts can be roots, stems, leaves, flowers or fruits.
