About Vegetables

Vegetables come from every part of a plant. A carrot and a radish are roots, a beet stores sugar in its swollen root too, and an onion is a bundle of layered leaf bases underground. Broccoli heads are flower buds picked before they open, asparagus spears are young shoots, and cucumber, pepper, pumpkin, and zucchini are all botanically fruits. Spinach, kale, cabbage, and lettuce are leaves; celery is a stalk; corn is grain eaten young. This crossword sorts them out.

Reach for this sheet when a science or nutrition lesson turns to plant parts and where food actually grows.
