Why Eat? (Posted on 2022-06-20)

Can you categorize these foods?
Four belong in Category One, and the other four belong in Category Two.
The categories are related to each other. Note that the categorization has only to do with the words, not the actual food itself.

Please separate the 8 foods into the two categories and explain your reasoning.
Beets
Cake
Cucumber
Kale
Peanuts
Seafood
Veal
Wine

Hint: the following foods are not in either category.
Bread
Chocolate
Cauliflower
French fries
Hamburger
Lemon
Potatoes
Spinach

In both categories, the beginning sound of the first syllable is also the name of a letter.
For category One it is the same letter as the first letter of the word.
B - Beets
K - Kale
P - Peanuts
V - Veal
For category Two it is a different letter as the first letter of the word.
K - Cake
Q - Cucumber
C - Seafood
Y - Wine
And the title is also a clue: Why starts with a "Y" sound and Eat starts with an "E" sound
