Surely you ever wondered what a vegetable or a vegetable is? Is there a difference between them? Which?
Yes, there are differences! VEGETABLES they belong to the legume group, their edible parts are the fruits of plants, the seeds or even the parts that grow inside the earth. Examples are: beans, lentils, carrots, onions, peppers, tomatoes (which is a fruit) and others.
Already GREEN is a term used to refer to plants whose edible parts are leaves or flowers, such as lettuce, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach and so on.
Obviously, this is a quick and simple explanation as our goal here is to learn the respective names of vegetables in Spanish.
So, we put in the table below "the vegetables and vegetables” better known, remembering that these are not separated by their classification. This is an exercise that after reading and understanding you will be able to do.
Good work!

Below, we leave a recipe for the traditional "russian salad”. Although its origin is Russian, over time it became a very common dish in many countries. There are different versions, some simpler and others more improved, with a greater amount of ingredients. The recipe asks to cook the ingredients and prepare the mayonnaise. There are several ways: only with the gems or "yemas” raw, according to the recipe; with a raw and a cooked yolk; with the yolks and whites mixed in a blender; or, if you prefer, with industrialized mayonnaise. It doesn't matter which one to choose and yes, understand the recipe. If you have time and interest, look for other recipes in Spanish that have vegetables that you prefer.

The words in the recipe that are in bold "peel, paste, mix, add, beat” are verbs that mean, respectively, “peel, strain, mix, add, beat” and “hello, paste, cooler" They relate to "pan, pasta, refrigerator”.
It is good to clarify that in Spanish the word “accept” is used both for “oil” (from soybeans, corn, sunflower, etc.) and for “olive oil” (from olives).
Attention! Be careful and do not perform any activity "in the COCINA”, or with fire, without the guidance or supervision of an adult.
