There are hundreds of agricultural crops. Did you ever wonder if there is a crop for every letter in the alphabet? Actually, yes, there is. It is possible to make a list of crops that begin with the letters A-Z. But it’s not easy to get a complete list.
There are only few cereals, so we cannot expect to find an ABC of just cereals. But there are many fruits and vegetables. Let’s first try to make a ‘fruits ABC’ and find out if there is a fruit name for every letter of the alphabet:
Fruits alphabet or Fruits ABC
Avocado
Banana
Cherry
Date
Elderberry
Fig
Grapefruit
Horse mango
Indian jujube
Jackfruit
Kiwifruit
Lemon
Mangosteen
Natal plum
Orange
Papaya
Quince
Rambutan
Strawberry
Tangerine
Ugli
Velvet apple
Watermelon
Xigua
Yellow pitaya
Z … ?
Almost there, but not quite right. In the fruits ABC we are missing a fruit starting with Z. Who can help?
It didn’t work with the fruits, so now let’s try to make a ‘vegetables ABC’. We try to find vegetables for all the letters in the alphabet:
Vegetables alphabet or Vegetables ABC
Asparagus
Beetroot
Cabbage
Drumstick tree
Eggplant
Fluted gourd
Garden rocket
Horse gram
Indian spinach
Jerusalem artichoke
Kale
Leek
Mung bean
Napa cabbage
Okra
Pea
Quinoa
Radish
Spinach
Teasle gourd
Urad bean
V … ?
Watercress
X … ?
Yard-long bean
Zucchini
Also the list of vegetables doesn’t give us a complete ABC. Vegetables with a V and X are missing. Who knows vegetables with a V or X?
But combining the lists of fruits and vegetables, we can have a complete crops alphabet.
Mixing in a few herbs and spices, here is an example of a complete Crops ABC that begin with the letters A-Z.
Crops alphabet or Crops ABC

There you are. To learn the alphabet you can now use this complete crops ABC. From Avocado to Zucchini.
If you are interested, there is also an “insects alphabet“.
