Common vegetables list:

  1. Kale
  2. Water cress
  3. Collards/collard greens
  4. Brussels sprouts
  5. Leeks
  6. Artichokes

Other vegetables are, of course, welcomed. The more the merrier.

UPDATED: Yes, i am aware that all these can be found via online translation or some other sources. But the point is to treat this post as some kind of master list or quick list, in which we have all the names in one place. That way, i will be easier for other people who are looking for the same information, since, you know, they are now collected under one post.

  • These items could all be found in Wikipedia, Google Translate and many online dictionaries. And I don't see any legit question in this post

  • There is no "official name" for everyday use. The names used in biology is another story and would be different from what is used in everyday life.

  • I'm going to leave this open for now, but this is far too broad - perhaps you could tighten it up a bit somehow?

For the nay-sayers who gave the equivalent of "just Google it" - it's actually incredibly helpful to have a comparative list. As an ABC, I speak fluent Chinese but I definitely can't recognize all the veggies and fruits by their Chinese name or vice versa. In fact, I came here looking for all the possible different types of 瓜 while contemplating watermelon since it is "West melon" and was curious if other directional types. I count at least 8 melons that I know the Chinese name of, but searching manually would take a long time and yield sub-par results. Consider yams - you would never consider English to Chinese lookup since they're...tubers and not melons. And this problem is only for the very narrow consideration of "瓜". The broader category of veggies is even more confusing. And don't get me started on restaurant names.

The "瓜" off the top of my head and their Pinyin are: watermelon (xigua, 西瓜), cantaloupe (hamigua, 哈密瓜), honeydew (tiangua, 甜瓜), yams (digua, 地瓜), wintermelon (donggua, 冬瓜), bittermelon (kugua, 苦瓜), pumpkin (nangua, 南瓜), papaya (mugua, 木瓜)

A simple way of finding "official" translations for the words like the ones in your list:

  1. go to Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale
  2. look at "Languages" section bottom left of the page.
  3. Locate 中文 - https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%BE%BD%E8%A1%A3%E7%94%98%E8%97%8D
  4. Here you go, 羽衣甘藍

Granted, this will quite often give you names used in Taiwan, in traditional characters. Wikipedia is rather dominated by Taiwanese users.

Alternatively, search Baidu eg https://www.google.com.au/search?q=kale+baidu or https://baike.baidu.com/item/Kale

英文:kale,中文意思:羽衣甘蓝

Baidu is 100% mainland 普通话!
