高麗菜是台灣的「國民蔬菜」，產量最大的葉菜類作物，每年的產量超過40萬噸，產值超過80億。正式名稱為「甘藍菜」。

項國民蔬菜名字的來由，跟韓國（古名高麗）一點關係也沒有，而是淵源於歐洲，古希臘、羅馬人都愛吃；無論是拉丁文「caulis」、荷蘭文「kool」、或西班牙文「col」，閩南語發音都近似「高麗」。
這看似平凡的高麗菜，其實參與過人類大歷史。寫過多本蔬果專書的作者張蕙芬為文時表示，大航海時代的船員常因缺乏維生素C得壞血病，直到攜帶醃漬高麗菜同行才解決這問題。
▋高麗菜直至日本品種引進才流行
最早，高麗菜是17世紀荷蘭人帶來台灣的；一直要到日治時期引進日本品種包括「初秋」、「夏峰」，這種植化素含量豐富的十字花科作物，才開始普及；現今市場上最盛行的品種是「初秋」。
高麗菜主要產地是彰化、雲林、台中，占一半以上。高山上種植的高麗菜，由於日夜溫差大，養分容易蓄積，有特別的甜味，成特別的品牌高麗菜。
高麗菜富含植化素如蘿蔔硫素等多種營養，民俗療法中，還會用它來減緩膝蓋發炎疼痛。
歐洲溫帶氣候適合高麗菜種植，台灣主要產季在秋冬，但經過育種、或往高山上種植後，一年四季都吃得到。農糧署的宣導中，很俏皮地幫各個品種定位：初秋是「天菜隊長」，適合各式料理；雪翠是「天菜女神」，適合生食、快炒；228品種是「天菜餃餃者」，適合做餡料及醃製。

百香果─叫我「熱情果」，真是誤會
百香果拉丁文學名「Passiflora edulis」，英文為「Passion Fruit」，濃香甜酸的味道讓不少人覺得是個熱情十足的水果，所以翻譯為「熱情果」。這真的是一場誤會。
