crops NOT used in cooking

a list for posterity. i found a post asking for this years ago while searching the same question and nobody gave an answer. since i'm on desk duty not doing anything i have compiled the list myself for those wishing to save space in their refrigerator; indeed, these are the crops that are NOT used in any cooking recipes. note that some may be used in crafting to make wild seeds, fairy dust, etc. i'm just thinking about kitchen use here! of course, all of these things can still be put into kegs, preserves jars, etc; but you can just use a chest or your second fridge to hold those things and not take up the space in the fridge that can be used in the adjacent cooking station. thanks and enjoy.
