| − | The Food entries in this wiki implement a database system. This database enables the storage of records in different pages, and the ability to display all records unified in the page <span class="plainlinks">[{{canonicalurl:Table:Food|action=viewdata}} Table:Food]</span>. The infobox [[Template:Infobox food]] defines the format that each individual food's general information displays as.
| + | {{Main| Meals and foodstuff}} |
| | + | Several meals and foodstuff are staple foods of many cultures, and desirable for maintaining familiarity with foods. This section describes all these types of food that are prepared by baking or other cooking methods using processed or fractioned foods such as flours, oils, essences, etc. |

| − | = Culinary Vegetables = | + | == Plants == |
| − | In culinary terms, a vegetable is an edible plant or its part, intended for cooking or eating raw. Some vegetables can be consumed raw, some may be eaten cooked, and some must be cooked to destroy certain natural toxins or microbes in order to be edible, such as eggplant, unripe tomatoes, potatoes, daylily, winter melon, fiddlehead fern, and most kinds of legume/beans (such as common beans).
| + | === Tubers === |
| − | | + | {{main|Tubers}} |
| − | Many plants or plant parts are eaten as food. There are around 2,000 plant species which are cultivated for food, and many have several distinct [[w:Cultivar|cultivars]]. See the definition of [[w:Vegetable | vegetable]] in the Wikipedia, which includes the different parts of plants used as vegetables.
| + | Tubers are rich in starchy carbohydrates, and usually fast growing. Can be easily grown in greenhouses and vertical farming. |

| − | Edible [[/Seeds|seeds]] include [[/Cereals|cereals]] (maize, wheat, rice, et cetera), [[/Legumes|legumes]] (beans, peas, lentils, et cetera), and [[/Nuts|nuts]]. [[/Oilseeds|Oilseeds]] are often pressed to produce rich oils - sunflower, flaxseed, rapeseed (including canola oil), sesame, et cetera.

| − | | + | Roots are rich in sugars and other carbohydrates, and usually fast growing. Can be easily grown in greenhouses and vertical farming. |
| − | [[/Fruits|Fruits]] are the ripened ovaries of plants, including the seeds within. Some botanical fruits, such as tomatoes, pumpkins, and eggplants, are eaten as vegetables.
