Baby Vegetables

Most baby vegetables are fully ripe miniature vegetables cultivated for perfection. Others are immature vegetables picked before fully grown. They are as nutritious as regular-size vegetables and most offer a more tender and delicate taste.

These baby cucumbers are different species of cucumber — they are a type of "burpless" cucumber which has softer skin and milder in taste — than the normal ones found in the stores. They are also called "Persian" cucumbers.

Baby cabbage is a little version of the cabbage. The shape and texture of these leaves also varies. Most cabbages have round and smooth leaves. However these leaves can also be pointed and wrinkly. The leaves are the ones which are commonly eaten.
