List of 1-syllable Vegetables that contain A

1

Chard

Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla

A leafy green relative of beets — eaten for its tender leaves and crunchy stems, with rainbow chard varieties bringing dramatic red, yellow, pink, and orange stem colors to plates.

2

Kale

Brassica oleracea var. sabellica

A hardy leafy brassica with crinkly or flat dark green leaves, packed with vitamin K and tolerant of cold weather long after other greens have given up.

3

Mâche

Valerianella locusta

The tenderest of salad leaves — small, velvety rosettes with a mild, nutty, slightly sweet flavour; a classic French winter salad green harvested when almost everything else in the garden has died back; sold as lamb's lettuce in Britain and corn salad in North America.

4

Pea

Pisum sativum

Small, round green seeds in a pod — garden peas are one of the most ancient cultivated vegetables, providing a bright, sweet flavour that peaks when eaten minutes after picking; also available as mangetout (sugar snap) and split dried peas.

5

Ramp

Allium tricoccum

A wild garlic-onion forest vegetable native to eastern North America — a brief spring season, intense aromatic flavor, and a passionate Appalachian foraging tradition that's gone viral with chef-driven demand.

6

Yam

Dioscorea spp.

A starchy tuber from the genus Dioscorea, native to Africa and Asia, larger and drier than sweet potatoes — the actual yam, not the orange-fleshed American imposter.
