In Sicily, when we talk about the products of the earth, besides being unique and sometimes unobtainable in other parts of the world, they also have very particular names and that obviously vary even within Sicily itself. 

When it comes to Sicilian vegetables, Sicily does not fear comparisons: for centuries it has been producing veggies with genuine flavours, real excellences, unique in taste and names! Some of the names used in Sicily for the vegetables, may sound slightly strange to those born outside the borders of the island.
