Template:Lang Several plants have many edible plant parts, making them useful as both a vegetable (often the leaves, stems, flowers or flower heads) and a fruit or staple crop.
Examples
- chayote, grape, and some varieties of squash have leaves and shoots which are appetizing and healthy as vegetables
Note
Some plant parts such as fruits can be a vegetable when consumed before it is entirely ripened. For example papaya. Some seeds can have a different taste when raw as opposed to baked (ie pepper).
