In English to refer to all vegetables you use plural, we use singular.
You probably say "I eat a lot of vegetables" We say "Mangio molta verdura."

Verdura (2nd definition, the one we need)
Nome collettivo
di tutti gli erbaggi commestibili e ortaggi: negozio di frutta e verdura; minestra di verdura.
Whenever you see "nome collettivo" it means you tend to use the singular for many items. Like you do in English for furniture, information, hair.
I hope it helped.
