List of 2-syllable Vegetables that contain K

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

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.

3

Daikon

Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus

A long white winter radish, mildly peppery and crisp, central to East and South Asian cooking — eaten raw, pickled, simmered, and grated as a digestive aid.

4

Drumstick

Moringa oleifera

The long pod of the moringa tree (also called moringa pods) — eaten across South Asian and African cuisines as a vegetable, while the leaves of the same tree are a renowned superfood.

5

Okra

Abelmoschus esculentus

A long, ridged green pod with sticky seed-filled interior — central to gumbo, Indian curries, and Levantine stews, with the love-it-or-hate-it characteristic mucilage.

6

Pumpkin

Cucurbita pepo, C. moschata, or C. maxima

A large orange winter squash native to the Americas, with sweet starchy flesh used in soups, pies, and seasonal lattes — and its seeds eaten as a snack.

7

Sea Kale

Crambe maritima

A British coastal native cultivated as a luxury spring vegetable — the young shoots are blanched by covering the crowns in early spring to exclude light, producing ivory-white, tender spears with a mild, nutty, slightly bitter flavour reminiscent of asparagus; once highly prized at Victorian tables, it fell out of fashion but has been revived by chefs and kitchen gardeners seeking heritage vegetables.
