Does the Amazon rainforest grow vegetables?

Answer 1

This depends on your definition of a vegetable. The most common meaning of 'vegetable' is an edible plant part that is not a fruit. So in that case, yes, vegetables do grow in the amazon rainforest. Ferns have been cooked as a vegetable by many nationalities, and bamboo, and both of these plants grow in the amazon. There are so many plants growing in the amazon, many which are edible. But I don't think you'd find many traditional vegetables like broccoli growing there, as they prefer cold climates.
