Do you like asparagus and garlic? How about leeks? What is a leek, even? Well, it’s one of the delicious veggies on this list of stem and bulb vegetables, of course! These are edible plants in which the leaves, stems, flowers, or roots are edible. Bet you didn’t think you’d ever eaten a flower! This list does not include edible plants that are funguses, seeds, or treated as fruits. It only includes edible stems and vegetable bulbs. Something to consider: the word vegetable is based on culinary tradition. It is not scientific. Edible plants traditionally used to make savory dishes are typically considered vegetables. That said, some vegetables are occasionally also used to make sweet dishes, such as carrots, rhubarb, and even avocados. What a world!
