Crudités (/ˈkrdɪt(z)/, French: [kʁydite]) are French appetizers consisting of sliced or whole raw vegetables[1] which are typically dipped in a vinaigrette or other dipping sauce. Examples of crudités include celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, bell pepper strips, broccoli, cauliflower, fennel, and baby corn.

Etymology

Crudités means "raw things", from Middle French crudité (14c.), from Latin cruditatem (nominative cruditas), from crudus "rough; not cooked, raw, bloody".[2] The term was first used in English circa 1960.[3]

Usage

Toppings and dips such as hummus, ranch dressing, guacamole, salsa, and tapenade are commonly paired with crudités. They are commonly seen in school lunches.
