Lettuce indulge on an episode all about vegetables.

Back in 2019 four legendary rankers fought, argued, cried, but ultimately came together on a list of Top 5 Fruits. Well years have passed and wounds have healed and now we are finally ready to turn our attention to the food that your parents & doctors have been heckling you to eat all your life – vegetables! And you know what? Turns out that as you get older, vegetables are pretty dang good! Vegetables contain a variety of textures, flavours, versatility, and nutrition that it’s finally due time for them to shine on this podcast. So join Tuong La and Veggie Virtuosos Colleen Wang, Victoria Luloff, and Leslie Cserepy as they rinse, spin, and toss up a Top 5 Vegetables list for ya!

Ground Rules

• We are using the Webster’s dictionary version of a vegetable: a usually herbaceous plant (such as the cabbage, bean, or potato) grown for an edible part that is usually eaten as part of a meal
• If a vegetable has many subcategories underneath it than it will encapsulate all of that category for the most part unless there are veggies under that category that deserve it’s own nomination. (ie Mushrooms will count all kinds of mushrooms)
• There are some nominations that are socially accepted as vegetables but are actually technically a fruit. We will go on a case-by-case basis on these.
