Vegetables Word Search

Play online Print

Thirty-odd vegetables to find, from the ones every kid can name to the ones that start arguments - artichoke, arugula, eggplant, kohlrabi. Botanically several of them are not vegetables at all: avocado, cucumber and eggplant are fruits, and rhubarb is a stalk that gets treated like one.

Cooks sort them a different way again, by the part of the plant you eat. Roots like carrot and beet, leaves like spinach and cabbage, stems like celery and asparagus, flowers like broccoli and cauliflower. That grouping is worth knowing, because it predicts how long something needs in the pan better than any list of names.

Some of them change completely with heat. Raw garlic is sharp because a cut cell releases allicin; cooked slowly it turns sweet. Brussels sprouts were bitter for decades until growers bred the bitterness out in the 1990s, which is the only reason anyone eats them now.
