The practical application of an analytical scanning electron microscope with an EDS system – microanalysis for examining the ash elemental composition of vegetable crop selection was considered. Morphology and surface analysis through XRD and SEM. The content of 14 basic elements (in weight percent) in the mineral component of vegetables was investigated. In the vegetables the accumulation order of the elements is the following: Ca >K >P >Mg >Si >Se >Fe >Mo ≈ S ≈ Cl ≈ Zn >Na >Al. The vegetables are rich in macro – and microelements. In the selecting procedure, vegetables with a high concentration of the components are recommended. The enhanced levels of key macro- and microelements such as Ca, K, P, Mg, Mo, S, and Cl indicate the possibility of developing functional products based on the examined vegetables for dietary enrichment.
