Vegetable is a term which generally refers to an
edible part of a
plant. The definition is traditional rather than
scientific and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective. All parts of
herbaceous plants eaten as
food by
humans, whole or in part, are normally considered vegetables.
Mushrooms, though belonging to the
biological kingdom Fungi, are also commonly considered vegetables. In general, vegetables are thought of as being
savory, and not
sweet, although there are many exceptions.
Nuts,
grains,
herbs,
spices and culinary
fruits (see below) are normally not considered vegetables.
