Whether you’re looking for a delicious new fruit or vegetable to try, you’re a teacher looking for a great classroom resource, you care about protecting edible plant species around the planet, or you’re simply practicing for a food-themed trivia night — we’ve got you covered with the ultimate fruits and vegetables resource.

Fruits are defined as the mature ovaries of flowering plants — typically containing seeds, which can range in taste from sweet to sour. While vegetables are commonly identified as the edible parts of plants, which can include roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and sometimes immature fruits.

Fruits are nature’s dessert — and vegetables are nature’s nourishment.

And sure, we’ve all heard of apples, broccoli, and zucchini — but what about kohlrabi, pluots, and persimmons?

We’ve collected the ultimate list (truly, it might just be the largest on the internet) of fruit and vegetable names — from A to Z — so you can explore every kind of fruit and veggie imaginable.

Why did we write this article? Because a plant-based diet is better for animals and the planet. And because choosing to eat (and pick) seasonal fruits and vegetables can make a world of difference as well. And lastly, because it’s valuable to know about the beautiful range of (yummy) plants on planet Earth so we can fight to protect their biodiversity.

You can also explore our complete list of fruits from A-Z and our complete list of vegetables from A-Z.

We hope you discover something new — and maybe even share your newfound favorite fruit or vegetable with a friend.

A quick note before you bite into a new-found fruit or veggie: Some of these vegetables cannot be consumed raw — and others could easily be confused with non-edible plants. Please use caution and care.
