Wood sorrel: A deliciously lemony wild green in the oxalis family. Use it only as a garnish, since it can be toxic in very large quantities.

Sheep sorrel: Refreshingly tart and fine to use as a main ingredient. Its color turns to olive when cooked.

Baby carrots: Just-formed carrots are extremely sweet and crunchy.​ Use them whole as a garnish.

Baby radishes: Dense, juicy, and with very little if any heat; eat them stems and all, with butter and salt.

Kohlrabi: A type of cabbage with a gentle broccoli flavor and creamy texture when cooked. Little ones are the most tender.
