Annual and short-cycle crops grown for an edible leaf, root, bulb, fruit or seed pod eaten as a savory vegetable, together with the melons FAO groups with vegetables rather than with tree and vine fruit: cabbage, carrot, chili pepper, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, lettuce, onion, pumpkin, spinach, tomato and watermelon. Belongs here: a crop conventionally eaten as a savory dish component, or a melon. Does not belong here: a sweet perennial tree or vine fruit, held under Fruits, or a crop grown chiefly for oil, starch or sugar rather than as a fresh vegetable, held under the matching commodity group instead.
