Concept Explanation

Food we get from Plants

Food from Plants: The green plants prepare their own food from carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll in the presence of sunlight. Thus, green plants are known as producers. They store the extra food in their different body parts. Mushrooms have good taste and health benefits. They are neither plants nor animals, they are placed in a separate category 'fungi'. Wheat grains are used to make flour which is used to make chapattis. Root is the part of the plant of banana that is not used as food. India is the largest producer of banana in the world. The components of the plant that we will able to eat are inner stem, flower, raw banana and ripe banana. Plant Parts that are eaten:

Roots: we eat roots of carrot, radish, sweet potato and beetroot as food to get nutrition.

Stem: some plants like potato, onion, sugarcane, ,ginger and garlic store food in their stem.

Leaves: some coomon leaves that are eaten by people are spinach, cabbage, coriander etc.

Flowers: we eat cauliflower and broccoli. Also flowers of banana and pumpkin are eaten by people.

Fruits: there are some plants which store food in the fruits like apples, oranges, grapes and guava. The vegetables like tomato, lady finger, brinjal which we eat are actually the fruits of the plant.

Vegetables: common vegetables are onion, potato, spinach, carrot etc. Both vegetables and fruits are a rich source of vitamins and minerals.

Seeds: all cereals like rice, wheat, maize and pulses like gram, moong are examples of seeds. Pea is also a seed. Cereals give us energy and pulses are rich source of protein for growth and development.

Sprouts: sprouted seeds of moong, gram and chikpea are very nutritious. Sprounting is the process of make small roods of these seeds. It is done by soaking seeds in water and then draining the water after about 7 -8 hours. They are left overnight to germinate. They are a high source of protein.

Oil: is the medium of cooking. We get oil from seeds of mustard, sunflower, coconut and groundnut.

Sugar: it is obtained from sugarcane. Sugar provides us energy.
