Four vegetables that you eat different parts or stages of the plant in its life cycle?

Here are four vegetables where we eat different parts or stages of the plant:

1. Broccoli: We eat the flower buds (unopened flowers) of the broccoli plant. However, you can also eat the stems and leaves, which are often used in stir-fries or salads.

2. Carrots: We eat the root of the carrot plant, which is a taproot. The green leafy tops of the carrot plant are also edible and can be used in salads or as a garnish.

3. Spinach: We eat the leaves of the spinach plant. While they are technically the 'adult' leaves, we often eat them before they reach full maturity for the most tender texture. Spinach also produces seeds that can be used in salads or as a crunchy topping.

4. Cauliflower: Similar to broccoli, we eat the flower buds (unopened flowers) of the cauliflower plant.
