Vegetables
When teaching children vegetables, which one should a teacher say while pointing at a flashcard with a carrot printed on it?

This is an onion vs. This is union.
This is a lettuce vs. This is lettuce.
This is a pumpkin vs. This is pumpkin.
This is a corn vs. This is corn.

When referring to a picture of a single and complete vegetable, say eg This is a carrot. This is true of all your examples. Corn is a little tricky, because we speak of an ear of corn or a cob of corn.
