Unicode files twenty emoji as vegetables: avocado is one of them, tomato is not. To copy and paste vegetable emojis in one go, the first tile holds ten in a row: 🥦🥕🌽🥬🥒🫑🧅🧄🥔🍆.
Read the full guide
Which emoji count as vegetables
Unicode’s vegetable subgroup runs from 🥑 Avocado to Root vegetable. 🍅 Tomato sits with the fruit, though CLDR gives it both search words. On a keyboard the word vegetable finds ten emoji, 🥔, 🥕 and 🥒 among them, and misses 🥦, 🌽, 🧅 and 🧄.
Lettuce, beet and pumpkin go by other names
No emoji is named lettuce, kale or cabbage: all three words lead to 🥬 Leafy green. Beet, radish and turnip lead to Root vegetable, from Emoji 16.0. Pumpkin finds 🎃 Jack-o-lantern. Celery, spinach, cauliflower, zucchini and asparagus find nothing, which is why the combo Mirepoix, minus the celery is short one.
Pickle dates from Emoji 18.0, so an older phone shows an empty box in its place. 🥒 Cucumber is filed under pickle too.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-12 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file. Search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). The subgroup food-vegetable of that list has 20 emoji, in this order: Avocado, Eggplant, Potato, Carrot, Ear of corn, Hot pepper, Bell pepper, Cucumber, Pickle (Emoji 18.0), Leafy green, Broccoli, Garlic, Onion, Peanuts, Beans, Chestnut, Ginger root, Pea pod, Brown mushroom (Emoji 15.1) and Root vegetable (Emoji 16.0), the only emoji with vegetable in its name. Tomato is in the subgroup food-fruit, Mushroom in plant-other, Roasted sweet potato in food-asian, Jack-o-lantern in event and Green salad in food-prepared. CLDR files vegetable under ten emoji (Tomato, Eggplant, Potato, Carrot, Bell pepper, Cucumber, Peanuts, Pea pod, Brown mushroom, Root vegetable) and not under Broccoli, Ear of corn, Onion, Garlic or Leafy green; veggie under Pea pod and Brown mushroom; lettuce and kale under Leafy green alone and cabbage under Leafy green and Broccoli; beet, radish and turnip under Root vegetable alone; pumpkin under Pie and Jack-o-lantern; salad under Leafy green, Root vegetable and Green salad; soup under Pot of food and Steaming bowl; potato under Potato and Roasted sweet potato. Avocado has the word fruit and not vegetable. Celery, spinach, cauliflower, zucchini, squash, asparagus and vegan lead to no emoji. Unihan 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip) defines 菜 as vegetables; dish, order; food and 蔬 as vegetables, greens. These words, dishes and sayings are entries of Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org, CC BY-SA 4.0) read that day, and each dish’s emoji follow the ingredients its entry names: vegetable, veggie, greens, crudités, root vegetable, allium, legume, coleslaw, gazpacho, guacamole, pico de gallo, succotash, colcannon, borscht, kimchi, sauerkraut, mirepoix, garlic bread, onion ring, corn on the cob, stir-fry, cool as a cucumber, couch potato, hot potato, spill the beans, like two peas in a pod and know one’s onions.
