Many vegetables have grown in the wild for thousands of years. When people began to eat them as food they simply gathered the wild vegetables. Then, about 11000 years ago people began to grow vegetables, to farm the plants and to care for them. The farmers experimented and grew new kinds of the wild vegetables.
Vegetables found growing in one part of the world were taken by explorers and traders to many other parts of the world. The vegetables were then planted and grown in many countries around the world.
