Vegetables

Why are they important?

Vegetables are a very important part of our diet. They give us lots of nutrients. Without them we
would not have a very good diet.

Did you know that each vegetable has a Latin name? For example, broccoli is Brassica oleracea,
carrot is Daucus carota and potato is Solanum tuberosum.

We get many of our daily vitamins to keep us healthy from vegetables. Which is your favourite
vegetable?
