2. Edamame

If you’ve eaten a lot of Japanese food before, then you’ve probably encountered edamame. These bright green pods and beans are treated just like any other bean when it comes to cooking.

3. Eggplant

Eggplant (also known as aubergine in the UK) is technically a berry, but because it’s treated like a vegetable in cooking, it made our list. This plant is commonly known as being glossy and purple, but can actually come in other colors like pink and white.

4. Elephant Foot Yam

5. Elephant Garlic

Elephant garlic might have gotten its name from the fact that it grows in particularly large bulbs. Its flavor is like the garlic we all know and love, but a bit milder, making it better for people who don’t usually like the intensity of garlic.

6. Endive

Endive

Endive is a leafy green with a bitter taste. It’s full of vitamins like A and K, and also provides an excellent source of fiber.

7. Escarole

Escarole is actually a type of endive. If you don’t like bitterness much, you might like escarole more, because its flavor is milder.

You can read more about its taste and how to use it in our guide to what escarole tastes like.
