List of 2-syllable Vegetables that contain H

1

Bok Choy

Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis

A Chinese cabbage with crisp white stems and dark green leaves — quick-cooking, mild, and a workhorse of stir-fries, dumpling fillings, and Chinese soups.

2

Chaya

Cnidoscolus aconitifolius

A leafy green from Mexico's Yucatan — once a Mayan staple, with stinging hairs that disappear after 5 minutes of cooking and exceptional protein-and-iron levels making it an emerging "tree spinach" in tropical agriculture.

3

Chickpea

Cicer arietinum

The world's most widely eaten pulse — a round, beige legume cultivated for 10,000 years; the foundation of hummus, dal, chana masala, falafel, and dozens of dishes across the Middle East, Mediterranean, and South Asia.

4

Mushroom

Agaricus bisporus (button, cremini, portobello)

The edible fruiting body of fungi (not technically a vegetable, but treated as one), with hundreds of cultivated and wild species ranging from mild button to umami-rich porcini.

5

Radish

Raphanus sativus

A small, crisp, peppery root vegetable in the brassica family, eaten raw with salt and butter, sliced into salads, or roasted to mellow its bite.

6

Samphire

Salicornia europaea (marsh samphire / glasswort); Crithmum maritimum (rock samphire)

A distinctive sea vegetable with an intense salty, maritime flavour — marsh samphire (glasswort) is a bright green succulent harvested from tidal mudflats in summer, blanched briefly and served with butter and fish; rock samphire has a more pungent, aromatic taste and grows on coastal cliffs.

7

Shallot

Allium cepa var. aggregatum

A small, mild, refined onion relative — the preferred onion of French cuisine, with a softer flavor and more delicate texture than common bulb onions.

8

A leafy green native to ancient Persia, eaten raw or cooked, especially rich in iron, folate, and vitamin K.

9

Yao Choy

Brassica rapa var. parachinensis
