Vegetables in Russian

In this lesson we will learn new words on the topic: Vegetables in Russian. Russian cuisine is rich in vegetables. Vegetables were also preserved in a number of ways so that people could eat plenty during the long winter months. Vegetables were very popular in Russian cuisine since ancient times, because Russians did not eat meat during fasting, and fasting could last more than 200 days a year. For this reason, although its nature is not suitable for Russians to grow vegetables mainly in the northern regions, Russian dishes are diverse in terms of vegetables.
