    Vegetables are healthy.

Why das?

Exception

-e die

Usually 85.6% of the 2,894 common nouns ending in -e take die.

Gemüse breaks this rule: it is das Gemüse, not die Gemüse.

Masculine -e nouns are mostly people and animals (der Junge, der Kollege, der Löwe). Learn der Name and der Käse as pairs.

Other exceptions der Glaube, der Junge, das Ende, der Name
