what is the most commonly used vegetable in the world

[antiguru]

i'd guess at onion

[Pea Pod]

I`d say potato

[chadwin62]

i'm inclinde to agree: potato.

[Clanad]

Actually, statistics indicate it's probably the soybean. although a legume by classification, it's still considered a vegetable, especially the edible variety. But the consumption of soybeans in all forms of use greatly outpaces others. With the initiation of it's use in <i.bio-fuels recently, that consumption will only increase exponentially...

I reckon it could be the useless Pea, it gets everywhere. I once had a prawn cocktail in Paris, and yes, you guessed it - it had peas in!

[wonderful]

I would say onion

Well I would agree with the humble pea, if you regard the pea as a pulse, including lentils etc. Then that means it is not the most widely used vegetable, but pulse.

Wikipedia says that (arguably) grains are vegetables. If this is the case it will have to be...... RICE!.

[jump79]

It has to be something that's found/grows commonly all over the world, I'd say either onions or beans

[country_boy]

I'd go potatoes if classed as a true vegetable. However, the pea could be as nobody eats just one do they?! Hence commonly used. Plenty of peas in a portion!

[heathfield]

Agree with Clanad - soya bean.
Under the traditional classification of everything into 'Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral', tubers, legumes, cereals, etc, are all subdivisions of 'Vegetable'

[Otrere]

I don't eat ANY peas let alone one. Nasty, horrible things. I think peas as well. They get everywhere. Soups, stews etc., whenever you go for a meal you nearly always get peas as part of your veg. Peas - eugh - almost as bad as sweetcorn.

[Dark Angel]

Probably Onions or potatoes.
