Good list, but I hope everyone keeps in mind these are made all the time. I've seen over a dozen Top 10 lists for veggies, and none are uniform.
Mostly, I find them useful in writing a grocery list if I don't know what I'm after. But if you have recipes, you're gonna know exactly what you want, anyway.
