Yesterday I racked my brain for about an hour, Google-ing far and wide, even checking the index of every book I own pertaining to diet and nutrition, hoping to find fruits and vegetables that start with the letter "d". It's a short list so far: daikon, dates, and dill.
Today was not easy either. I finally came up with "eggplant". LOL! How hard was that? But what else starts with "e"? Does edamame count? It's a vegetable, but the name refers to a particular preparation of soy beans. hmm...
So, I'm asking for a little help here. I need to have a fruit, a vegetable, and an "other" (bean, nut, herb) for each letter. Can you help me fill in the blanks?
- A: Apple, asparagus, almond
- B: Banana, broccoli, barley
- C: Cantaloupe, carrots, cinnamon
- D: Dates, daikon, dill
- E: _______, eggplant, _______
- F: Figs, _______, flaxseed

- L: Lemon, _______, lentils
- M: Mango, mushrooms, millet

- S: _______, spinach, sesame

- U: _______, _______, _______ (wow. tough one!)
- V: _______, _______, _______ (another tough one!)
- W: Watermelon, watercress, walnuts

- Y: _______, yam, yuca?
