Here is a list of giant vegetable records. Not all categories have been included. The first entry is the current world record. The second entry is for the European EGVGA member that has grown the largest vegetable/plant in that category. If you have an official entry (weigh-off or certified scale) which you think should be posted here, please contact us. The EGVGA records are those records grown after that member joined the EGVGA. Previously grown records are not recorded. Note: The EGVGA does not always follow the guidelines of Guinness World Records.
