Also called Indian celery, this tall, non-woody plant is native to North America. It can reach up to 2 meters in height, with a haired-hollow stem and large leaves. The young stems are edible when peeled. It can be eaten raw and has a similar taste and texture to regular celery.
3. French bean
Otherwise known as common bean, it is widely grown for its edible seeds. Just like other beans, it contains starch, fiber, and protein. It is also a good source of numerous essential vitamins and minerals. In addition to being used as food, the bean leaves are also used as an insect trap.
4. Kidney bean
This variety of the common bean gets its name from its appearance which resembles the shape and color of a human kidney.

7. Red Cabbage

It has several culinary uses, similar to its other relatives, but generally used as a spice and garnish or in salads.
