FAQs
Originally, vegetables mean all the flowers, fruit, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, tubers, bark, and all other edible plant parts. But in todayтАЩs world, the term vegetable may exclude foods that are derived from plants such as nuts, fruits, and cereal grains, but may include seeds such as pulses.
Vegetables are consumed quite often in Nepal (almost in every meal) as people still mostly (twice a day) eat Dal Bhat as a main food everyday.
Mostly vegetables are consumed as a curry (Side dish) with Dal Bhat in Nepal. But they are also consumed as pickles and dried.
