'one of the greens' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'bellow takes in the spanish point' is the wordplay.
'bellow' becomes 'cry'.
'takes in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the spanish' becomes 'el'.
'point' becomes 'e' (E is an example).
'el'+'e'='ele'
'cry' going around 'ele' is 'CELERY'.

'with' is the link.
