What were types of veggies eaten in the middle ages?

Answer 1

Vegetables eaten in the Middle Ages included carrots, parsnips, beets, cabbage, onions, garlic, leeks, peas, fava beans, and chick peas. Fresh greens were eaten in salads, and these included romaine lettuce, but they seem not to have been favored by most people.

There were regional vegetables, such as seaweeds, which was eaten near the shore.

Pickles were very important, and many foods were preserved in this way. The pickles were fermented and kept without further processing, so they were quite nutritious.

They also ate cereals, including wheat, rye, oats, buckwheat, barley, and millet, with rice being available in the South, and imported to other areas. In addition, they ate fruits, including apples, Pears, native European strawberries, plums, and cherries, with apricots being introduced during the Middle Ages, and citrus fruits and figs in the South. Dried raisins, dates, and figs were traded, as were a large number of spices and dried herbs.
