They might be aphids. Take a spray bottle with a few drops of dish soap and water and spray the leaves on both sides,
Could be mealy bugs (probably not) or white mites. For the mites, after you spray them, place a yellow plate or container nearby with petroleum jelly (or other sticky substance) on it. The mites are attracted to yellow and will get stuck in the goop.
I always take leaves to my local nursery for answers. Usually very willing and helpful. Best of luck to you.

Water and Dawn dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. spray the leaves and rub them gently. What you have are moth eggs. The dishwashing liquid will break the bond with the leaf and rubbing will wipe it away. Hope this helps. :)
I use Neem oil!
If they are already picked and you want to eat them just rinse them off with cold water.
look like mealy bugs to me - touch eat one with cotton swab soaked in alcohol - rinse well before YOU eat!
produce everyone gets in stores are picked and treated to be perfect so consumers buy them. most garden grown veggies produce just won't be that perfect. There is nothing wrong with your produce if the spots bother you cut/tear them out of the leaves before you eat them. use non toxic Neem oil on your garden veggies
Thanks everyone, sorry for delays. These are not bugs kind of eggs and I already sprayed with soapy water now they are less . Thanks again
