winter vegetable
Frost-hardy garden crop
A winter vegetable is one that thrives in cold weather or is harvested and stored for winter use.
Some, like kale and Brussels sprouts, actually improve after frost.
Others—squash, root vegetables, cabbage—keep well through cold months when little else grows fresh: The farmers market had a good selection of winter vegetables despite the snow.
