List of 7-letter Vegetables that contain A

    1

    Arugula

    Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa

    A peppery, slightly bitter salad leaf with a distinctive mustardy heat that intensifies as the plant ages — also called rocket in Britain and Australia; a Mediterranean staple increasingly consumed worldwide.

    2

    Cabbage

    Brassica oleracea var. capitata

    A leafy brassica forming dense round heads, eaten raw, fermented, or cooked across nearly every cuisine in the temperate world.

    3

    Cardoon

    Cynara cardunculus

    A wild ancestor of the artichoke — its fleshy leaf stalks are eaten like celery, central to Italian and Spanish winter cuisine, while the artichoke we know is bred from the same species' flower buds.

    4

    Cassava

    Manihot esculenta

    A starchy tropical tuber feeding hundreds of millions across Africa, South America, and Asia — calorie-dense and drought-tolerant, but requires careful processing to remove natural cyanide.

    5

    Catsear

    Hypochaeris radicata

    A common dandelion-lookalike weed often called "false dandelion" — its leaves are edible like dandelion (with a milder flavor) and its roots have been roasted as a coffee substitute in foraging traditions.

    6

    Daylily

    Hemerocallis fulva

    A common ornamental garden flower whose unopened buds and just-opened flowers are a Chinese vegetable — used dried in stir-fries, fresh in salads, and as a thickener in hot-and-sour soup.

    7

    Oregano

    Origanum vulgare

    A pungent Mediterranean herb essential to Italian, Greek, and Mexican cooking — closely related to marjoram but more assertive, with the dried form actually more intense than fresh.

    8

    Parsnip

    Pastinaca sativa

    A pale, sweet, carrot-relative root with a complex herbal flavor — improves dramatically after frost, central to British and Eastern European winter cooking, and unfairly overshadowed by carrots.

    9

    Perilla

    Perilla frutescens

    An aromatic herb-leaf with a complex, distinctive flavour somewhere between basil, mint, and anise — red and green varieties are central to Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian cuisines; the green variety (*shiso*) wraps sashimi and flavours rice; the red variety colours pickled plums and sesame oil in Japanese cooking.

    10

    Salsify

    Tragopogon porrifolius (white salsify); Scorzonera hispanica (black salsify)

    The "oyster plant" — a long, white-rooted or black-skinned root vegetable that tastes faintly of oysters when cooked; popular in Victorian Britain and 19th-century European cooking, it declined into obscurity in the 20th century but is now experiencing a revival among chefs interested in forgotten vegetables.

    11

    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.

    12

    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.

    13

    Snap Pea

    Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon

    A cross between the garden pea and mangetout — the entire crisp, sweet pod is eaten whole, including the small, developed peas inside; one of the sweetest raw vegetables and a favourite for snacking and stir-frying.

    14

    Spinach

    Spinacia oleracea

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

    15

    Yao Choy

    Brassica rapa var. parachinensis

    A Chinese leaf-and-stem vegetable (also called yu choy, choy sum) with bright green leaves and pale stems, beloved in Cantonese cooking — quick stir-fried or blanched, with a distinctive sweet-mustard flavor.
