Green Vegetables

This group includes crops that aren't just green; things such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, kale, sprouts. Yes, most of those are green… but they can be other colours too, like purple broccoli, red cabbage, and red sprouts…

Many of the vegetables contained in this category come from the brassica family; this includes cauliflower, broccoli, cabbages, sprouts and the like, which technically come from the mustard family. This group of plants contains more important commercial horticultural crops than any other. Technically the brassica family also includes Swedes and turnips, but we've put those under root veg because that's what we think most people would think they are.

All parts of the brassica family are eaten in one way or another; be it roots in the form of Swedes and turnips, stems (kohl rabi), leaves (cabbages and sprouts), flowers (cauliflower and broccoli (yes, those are flowers) and seeds (processed into mustard).

Green vegetables and in particular brassicas are also known as cruciferous vegetables. From a nutritional point of view, they contain both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, and many vitamins, most notably Vitamin C.
