The best veggies are the ones that are used as seasoning to add pizzaz to other foods. Onions, peppers and garlic are the best. Damn, just mentioning them in the same sentence has me hungry, going to make some sausage with peppers and onions for dinner, heavy on the garlic.

asparagus, by far. But it tends to be one of the more expensive vegetables, too. I can't buy 4 lbs of it for like $3 that I can with broccoli.

yeah, but asparagus is said to make your semen have an extremely foul odor.

stay away from it on important nights! :beer:🙂

well i do know it made my Urine smell "Loud/strong|" 😉 ,not sure if the other "smelled/tasted odd"

well i am not sure how you would define,vegetable,with rice,but it is Not a Fruit!

Rice, plant that produces an edible grain; the name is also used for the grain itself. Rice is the primary food for half the people in the world. In many regions it is eaten with every meal and provides more calories than any other single food. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), rice supplies an average of 889 calories per day per person in China. In contrast, rice provides an average of only 82 calories per day per person in the United States. Rice is a nutritious food, providing about 90 percent of calories from carbohydrates and as much as 13 percent of calories from protein.

Of the 20 known species of rice, only two are cultivated?the widely grown Asian rice and the hardier African rice. Asian rice, if managed with modern techniques such as fertilizers, irrigation, and chemical pesticides, produces significantly more grain per plant than African rice, and for this reason is the preferred type in the majority of rice-growing countries. African rice, however, is more productive than Asian rice in traditional farming systems where modern techniques are not used or poor growing conditions are present. About 50,000 varieties exist within these two species, only a few hundred of which are cultivated.

II The Rice Grain and Plant
print section

A kernel or grain of rice is a seed that contains an embryonic rice plant. The hull, a hard protective covering, surrounds the bran, which consists of layers of fibrous tissue that contain protein, vitamins, minerals, and oil. Beneath the bran is the endosperm, which makes up most of the rice grain. The endosperm contains starch, the energy source used by the germinating seed. The bran and endosperm are the edible portions of the grain.

A rice plant, a type of grass, has narrow, tapered leaves and grows from about 60 to 180 cm (about 2 to 6 ft) tall. Several flower stalks emerge from the plant, and in most varieties, a loose cluster of branching stems, called a panicle, radiates from the top of each stalk with small green flowers hanging from each stem. When the grain has developed, the panicle droops under the weight of the ripened kernels. Depending on the variety, one panicle provides about two handfuls of rice.

Alfalfa sprouts are way underrated. Throw them on a salad, sandwich or baked potato.

Mushrooms are not a vegetable. It is a fungus...
