5 New Veggies Worthy of Your Thanksgiving Table

There's a whole new crop of vegetables at the supermarket--invite these five to your Thanksgiving dinner.

Belgian Leeks

Welcome this European heirloom, which contains mostly the tender white parts so there's less waste and work involved.

Rooster Potatoes

Ireland's top-selling spud has come to America. It's perfect for mashing--with the fluffiness of a russet and the buttery taste of a Yukon Gold.

Kale Sprouts

(often sold as Kalettes) A hybrid of Brussels sprouts and red Russian kale, these leafy little heads have a tender texture and nutty flavor.

Baby Brussels Sprouts

These wee sprouts are bred to ripen when marble-size. No need to trim tough leaves or halve them before cooking.

Kapia Peppers

With the shape of an Italian frying pepper, this new-to-market european variety has the bright-red color of a bell pepper and an even sweeter taste.
