食材的英文是 "ingredients". 该单词源自拉丁文 "ingrediens", 意为 "that which enters into a composition". 例句：

这道菜的食材包括牛肉、胡萝卜和土豆。 (The ingredients for this dish include beef, carrots, and potatoes.)

我们需要买一些新鲜的食材才能做这道菜。 (We need to buy some fresh ingredients to make this dish.)

请给我一份这道菜的食材清单。 (Please give me a list of ingredients for this dish.)
