leafy greens, green vegetables

青菜

tip Today’s takeaway: in our everyday food and grocery conversation, 青菜 (qīngcài) and 蔬菜 (shūcài) can be used interchangeably for “vegetables.” More specifically, 青菜 often means leafy greens, while 蔬菜 covers all vegetables. 冰箱里有青菜 / 冰箱里有蔬菜 (bīngxiāng lǐ yǒu qīngcài / shūcài) = “There are greens / vegetables in the fridge.”
