"This is a list of vegetables which are grown or harvested primarily for the consumption of their leafy parts" Cauliflower? Quinoa? Broccoli? Sweet potato?

  Cauliflower and broccoli, at least, have leaves that are absolutely harvestable and produce quite a bit depending on their cultivar. Yes, they also produce a delicious flower, but the leaves and stems are also a foodstuff. Edit: In fact, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kohlrabi, and kale are all the same species.

    But this is explicitly a list of plants that are primarily grown for their leaves.

  Canonical lists always continue into ad absurdum. But we always got more leaves off our sweet potato than tuberous roots due to mammals eating the roots. Which since sweet potato is so cheap to buy worked out ok.
