Crossword Genius

Eat green fresh produce (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

generate

'produce' is the definition.
(generating is a kind of producing)

'eat green fresh' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'eat'+'green'='eatgreen'
'eatgreen' anagrammed gives 'GENERATE'.

(Other definitions for generate that I've seen before include "Create for teenager" , "Cause to arise; produce" , "Teenager (anag) - green tea (anag)" , "Give rise to" , "Make" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
