What are the "five vegetable mentioned in Hatha Yoga Pradipika?

The Pradipika and other texts of yoga as the science of Pranayama provide guidelines on what foods yogi should and should not eat. Many of them mention "five vegetables" as suitable for eating, but no of them define what the five are specifically. Anyone out there know the answer?

I hope this helps you ....
