Scope note | |
Description | | Vegetables are foods derived from many different kinds of plants mostly annual and usually cultivated, commonly known by custom and tradition as "vegetables".
In several countries, some of these commodities grown on large areas are distinguished as "field crops" or arable crops e.g. sugar beet. For the sake of convenience in this guide such crops are classified under Type 2 Vegetables.
Exposure to pesticides is dependent on the particular part of the plant used for food and the growing practices.
Vegetables may be consumed in whole or in part and in the form of fresh, dried or processed foods.
