List of Vegetables That Contain F
2
Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
A bulb-and-frond vegetable with a delicate anise flavor — eaten raw in salads, roasted whole, or braised with citrus, and producing seeds used as a fragrant spice.
3
Red Leaf Lettuce
Lactuca sativa var. crispa
A loose-leaf lettuce variety with deep red-purple leaf tips — used widely in mixed salads, sandwich layers, and decorative plates for its visual contrast against green lettuces.
4
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.
