List of 7-letter Vegetables that contain I

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Spinach

Spinacia oleracea

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