Twenty-four whole foods make up this list: asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, romaine, oatmeal and yogurt. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

Four of the vegetables here are the same plant. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale are all Brassica oleracea, bred over centuries out of one scrubby wild mustard on the coasts of Europe: kale from the leaves, cabbage from the terminal bud, broccoli and cauliflower from flower heads caught at different stages. Brussels sprouts and kohlrabi came from the same plant as well.

Two of the names travelled a long way. Romaine is lettuce from Rome, carried north into France where it kept the city's name, while the British call the identical leaf cos, after the Greek island of Kos. Avocado comes through Spanish from the Nahuatl ahuacatl, and guacamole is ahuacamolli, avocado sauce, almost unchanged in five hundred years.
