List of 7-letter Vegetables that start with C

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

Celtuce

Lactuca sativa var. asparagina

A Chinese variety of lettuce grown for its thick fleshy stem rather than its leaves — sliced into matchsticks or chunks for stir-fries, with a crispy mild flavor between celery and lettuce.
