Identify this Vegetable and Win Something!!!

Yes... it's come to this...  I've decided to stop criticizing on all those vegan bloggers proclaiming healthy views but still shilling unhealthy vegan products or recipes and giveaway contests, to join the Gravy Train (think "Pink Floyd" and "Have a Cigar")... as such, my first giveaway contest.  After all, do you really think electrons are free?

Here's a photo of the mysterious vegetable:

Now, all you have to do is figure out what vegetable it is.  WHAT could be simpler?  (Click on image for larger image if you are confused)

Soooo, what will you win if you are chosen in the drawing of accurate answerererers?  A FREE packet of "Mama Mark's" Instant Aqua Water! An amazing product, with no fat, no salt, no sugar, no fiber, and lots of nutrition (t's kosher, yet gluten and trans-fat free, and will help you replace sweat!!).  Based on the same stuff recently found on Mars and the Moon by SCIENTISTS using TECHNOLOGY.

Think of it!  All you need to do is simply "add water" to this gourmet secret mixture of a thousand no spices and you'll get the bonus of two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen!  It's VEEGUN... so it must be happy, healthy, and good!  It's scientifically proven that this special water is so so so so so good for you that you must have it, you must have it, you must have it.  Yummy!  Can't go three days without it.  The taste is amazing, and the health benefits are so frickin' numerous and obvious we don't bother to write them up.  It's the "anti-antioxidant!"  It's ENERGIZING!  It's Coconut Water without the Coconut which means you get MORE water!  Wow.... so happy and healthy!

Instant Vegan "Di-hydrogen oxide..."  And folks, it's organic (and free trade). You can drink it, you can pour it on your head, you can pour it on other parts of your body, hell, you can pour it on just about anything that needs pourage!  So come on Internet Tube-ites,  let's get those guesses a flowing!  First 10,000 responders get a free recipe USING Mama Mark's Instant Aqua Water (note: PDF format).

I can't believe nobody has entered this. The vegetable is... grain! Many pounds of grain.

[Nice try, but contest is over... been dealing with a friend's roosters, hens, ducks, and geese for the first time. Watching the roosters behave like drunk college kids at a bar with a testerone overage is amazing... No smarts!]
