Subcategories
The subcategories can be grouped by process and number of ingredients:
- Fresh vegetables - products that underwent minimal processing (peeling, cutting, refrigeration) and mostly have one ingredient (or more for mixed vegetables). Can these be called raw vegetables;
- Canned vegetables - products that underwent some processing (pre-cooking, additives added for preservation)
- Prepared vegetables - products that underwent preparation processes (grilling) and have usually few ingredients;
- Vegetable dishes - products that combine multiple ingredients, but are mainly based on one ingredient (> 50%?). ;
- Vegetable meals - to be eaten as a main meal (culture dependent?);
An alternate subcategory grouping is based on the vegetable involved, like Aubergine, Okras or Potatoes.
The two subcategories can be combined to give dedicated categories like Fresh Aubergines or Canned Peas. This is however not necessary.
