W - Wood apple (Wood apple pulp has a sour, funky taste that is delicious with a touch of sugar in desserts, or alternatively, with warm spices for savoury dishes. In Sri Lanka, locals make wood apple juice by adding sugar and coconut milk to the strained pulp. The resulting juice is tart, sweet and creamy, and is a refreshing street food option that's popular in the summertime. - Google)1

X - Xinomavro
Xinomavro (Greek: Ξινόμαυρο [ksiˈno̞mavro̞], lit. 'sour black') is the principal red wine grape of the uplands of Naousa in the regional unit of Imathia, and around Amyntaio, in Macedonia, Greece.[1][2] This grape is primarily cultivated in Naousa, Goumenissa, Amyntaio, Rapsani, Trikomo, Siatista, Velventos, and, on a lesser scale, on Mount Athos, at Ossa, Ioannina, Magnesia, Kastoria and Trikala. In 2010, the total global cultivated area was 1,971 hectares (4,870 acres)[3] and was entirely in Greece, but by 2013 this had grown to 2,239 hectares (5,530 acres) worldwide, with some initial plantings in Gansu, China.[4] (Wikipedia)

Very impressive Susan! You even included the Greek spelling.
Y - Young coconut - I saw some chefs using it on a cooking show last night. It is supposed to be lighter in flavor than mature coconut. Google says -The young coconut has a thinner husk and the mature has a hairy husk. The young coconut has a green or ivory color and the mature is brown in color. The young coconut is high in water content and has jelly-like meat. The mature coconut meat is hard, has less water, and is high in fat content.1 -

Z - Zostera marina
Considered a sea vegetable, eelgrass, or Zostera marina, it is actually a perennial flowering plant. So, we’ll count it as a vegetable that starts with Z.
The entire plant is edible, but typically, the leaves are harvested from underwater. Historically, Native American Indians feasted on the sweet and crispy leaves. They also froze the plant’s roots to eat during the winter. Google.1 -
