Vegetable shoot (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprout

This clue is a double definition.

'vegetable' is the first definition.
(I know that sprout is a type of Leaf vegetable)

'shoot' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for sprout that I've seen before include "Bud; a type of cabbage" , "Spring up like vegetable from Brussels" , "Start growing" , "Produce buds" , "Put out shoots for a brassica" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
