Fruits and Vegetables that Start with an A
1. Asparagus
Asparagus is a green vegetable which grows a long stalk with an almost scale-like end. They are full of fiber which helps support a healthy digestive system. The high amount of fiber helps you to feel fuller longer making it a brilliant choice of vegetable as either a healthy snack or side to a main meal.
When cooking asparagus, it's best to avoid boiling this vegetable. If you boil it for too long, asparagus loses its nutritional value and becomes mushy. Asparagus is best eaten raw, lightly steamed, roasted, or sauteed.
It provides added flavor to meals such as soups, salads, omelettes, stir fries, and pasta.
Did you know avocados are actually a fruit not a vegetable?
This extremely popular fruit originates from Mexico, Central America and South America. It has a dark green outside and soft light green flesh with a hard stone in the middle.
Due to avocados' creamy texture when ripe, they are really popular in salads, smoothies, or even simply mashed on toast and topped with fresh tomatoes.
Avocados are ripe when they are slightly soft to touch. When cut in the middle, the flesh will be light green in color, soft to cut, and the stone easily removed. The best way to prepare an avocado is to chop it in half, remove the stone, and peel the skin. You can then dice or slice it as required.
This popular fruit isn't in demand just for its taste and texture. Avocados are packed with healthy fats and are full of vitamins such as vitamin C, E, K, and B-6. Not to mention they provide a plant-based alternative to omega-3 fatty acids (non plant based options are made from fish oils).
3. Amaranth Leaves
These delicious, leafy greens originate from the Amaranth plants that grow in the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa. Extremely popular in the Caribbean, they are also known as Callaloo.
Amaranth leaves are incredibly healthy, containing tocotrienols, which have anti-inflammatory qualities. They are also high in iron and potassium.
Most often, amaranth leaves are a great alternative to using spinach as they offer a similar texture. They can be used in salads, stir fries, curries, or even soups.
4. Arrowroot
Arrowroot are tropical plants native to Indonesia. This is a tubular vegetable similar to yams and sweet potatoes.
It is easy to digest and, as it contains no gluten, a great alternative for those with gluten allergies. It is often processed into arrowroot flour for this very reason.
Arrowroot itself is used as a thickening agent for soups, stews, and gravy.
5. Artichoke
This vegetable has a bitter taste when raw. But as soon as it's cooked, it softens and tastes very similar to brussel sprouts and asparagus.
Artichokes have a purple and dark green appearance. It is the bud part of a plant which is harvested before the flowers bloom

Apricots originated in China and Central Asia. It's a fruit smaller than a peach but very similar in appearance, with a firm skin on the outside and soft fruit on the inside. The fruit itself isn't too juicy and can be eaten fresh, just watch out for the large stone in the middle!
Another way to enjoy eating apricots is by purchasing them dried. The fresh fruit is cut in half, the stone is removed, and then they are placed in a dehydrator until the skin is firm. Dried apricots are a tasty, yet satisfying snack. They have a sweet flavor and chewy texture compared with when eaten fresh. Not to mention they are full of vitamins A and C.
9. Asian Greens
Asian Greens typically are a mix of leafy vegetables such as Chinese broccoli, bok choy, and choy sum.
