====Vegetables====
'''Root Vegetables:''' Carrots, turnips, and onions would be grown and stored for use throughout the year. Garlic would be a fundamental flavouring in nearly every dish.

'''Legumes:''' Lentils, chickpeas, and broad beans would be essential protein sources, particularly during winter. They can be dried and stored for long periods.

'''Greens:''' Wild greens would be foraged in the spring and used in salads, stews, and savoury pies. Cultivated vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, and chard would also be available.

'''Nightshades:''' Avocados, tomatoes, and peppers, while often associated with Mediterranean food, were introduced from the Americas after the 15th century. So for an earlier medieval setting, these would not be present. The most common vegetables would be those with older histories in the region.

'''Cucurbits:''' Cucumbers and various types of squash would be a summer staple.
