What Vegetable Is This? Free Vegetable Identifier - Identify Vegetables by Picture Online Free

Upload a photo of the plant or produce, ideally with a cut section, and the identifier will return its scientific name, such as Brassica oleracea for cabbage or Apium graveolens for celery and celeriac. It identifies the species, not the specific variety.

Zucchini seedlings are larger and sturdier, with broad leaves that often carry silvery markings, while cucumber seedlings are smaller with more triangular, finely toothed leaves. Cucumbers soon send out tendrils and climb.

They were all bred from wild cabbage, Brassica oleracea, by selecting for different parts: leaves for kale, the flower head for broccoli and cauliflower, and the terminal bud for cabbage. The identifier will therefore return the same species for all of them.

Often yes, but volunteer squash and gourds can cross-pollinate and occasionally produce bitter fruit containing cucurbitacins, which can make you ill. Taste a tiny piece and discard it if it is bitter, and never eat a wild plant based on an app alone.

Onions, garlic, leeks and chives are toxic to cats and dogs, and the leaves of tomato, potato and rhubarb are also considered harmful. Check the scientific name with your vet if a pet has chewed a plant.
