The joy of raised beds is that you can grow almost anything in them. My favourite vegetables include: broad beans and peas (grown inside our 2-hook broad bean supports) and runner beans (grown up a square obelisk), strawberries (so convenient to find and pick them in a 30cm bed), tomatoes and cucumbers, lettuce and herbs (I use fleece to cover these crops for an early picking). Many of the cutting flowers thrive in raised beds: dahlias, lilies, alstroemerias and marigolds are grown in blocks in my raised beds for cutting throughout the summer and autumn.
