C. Classifications of Vegetables
1. Stem Vegetables
They are edible part of the plant from the roots or bulb and they always
grow above the ground unlike roots or bulb. Not all stems of every vegetable
plant are edible. Some of the stems which are popular in our household and
among the chefs are asparagus, celery, and leek.

2. Leaves Vegetables
Plants which have edible leaves fall under this category. The leaves can
be all separate or very compact like cabbage, mostly the leaves are needed to
be cooked before they are ready to eat but sometimes, they can be consumed
raw like cabbage which is eaten raw in the form of salad. Some examples of
leaves vegetables are spinach, cabbage, watercress, lettuce, sweet potato
leaves, and kangkong.
3. Flower Vegetables
Some plants have flowers which are used as vegetables in culinary world.
These are seasonal and are found during a season of the year and such plants are
only grown for their flower buds. Some examples of fruit vegetables are cauliflower,
broccoli, squash blossoms, and banana lower.
4. Stalk or Bulb Vegetables
These are parts of the plant which grow just below the ground and the portions
which are in between the stem and the root. The root comes out from the bottom
of the bulb. Bulbs are generally in layers of skin like onion and they are very strong
in flavor. Some examples for bulbs are garlic, spring onion, leek, fennel, and
shallots.

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 10

 5. Seed Vegetables (Beans)
This category includes legumes which are used as food. It is the fruit of the
plant of which the seed is eaten. It is also referred as “Podded Vegetables.” Plants
which are not legumes and produce pod like fruit fall under this category. It
generally grows above the ground but sometimes it grows below ground like
peanut.

6. Root Vegetables
This category includes plants of which roots are edible, usually long, round, and
swollen taproot and are used as vegetables. Some examples of root vegetables
are beet, carrot, radish, horseradish, turnip, and taro.

7. Tuber Vegetables
In this category, plants fall in which the roots are modified and enlarged into a
swollen structure that are full of nutrients. This kind of vegetable usually grows at
the end of the plant root attached as a lump of rock, such as potato. Some
examples of this category are cassava and sweet potato.
8. Fruit Vegetable
Some examples of this category are tomatoes, avocado, bitter gourd, eggplant,
bell peppers, and chayote.
9. Fungi Vegetables
Commonly known as mushrooms, various types of mushrooms are available of
which some are edible, and some are poisonous.

D. Classifications of Fruits

1. Pome - Most of the fruits are formed from the receptacle (under the flower).
Examples: pear, apple
2. Drupe – It has fleshy fruit and a single seed with a hard endocarp.
Examples: peaches, coconut, and olives
3. Berry – It has many seeds.
Examples: tomatoes, peppers, and cucumber
4. Aggregate fruit – It develops from one flower with many pistils.
Example: strawberries
5. Legumes – It is split along two sides.
Examples: beans, peas
6. Nuts – It has one seed and a hard pericarp.
7. Grains – They have the fruit and seed joined closely together.
Examples: wheat, rice, barley

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 11

 8. Multiple fruits – They come from several different flowers joined.
Example: pineapples

E. Sourcing of Raw Materials

Sourcing is the process of selecting suppliers to provide the goods and services
you need to run your business. It may sound uncomplicated, but the process can be
complex.

Sourcing involves the following:

1. Finding quality sources of goods and services

2. Negotiating contracts
3. Establishing payment terms
4. Market research
5. Testing for quality
6. Considering outsourcing for goods
7. Establishing standards

Why Is Sourcing Important?

1. Sourcing allows companies to establish consistent supply chains. This keeps

your shelves stocked and customers happy.
2. Strategic planning in the sourcing process is central to cost structure, profit
margins, and competitiveness for businesses of all sizes.

Cost Management

Strategic sourcing provides benefits for both buyers and suppliers. Buyers can
typically negotiate lower unit pricing for high-volume purchasing. This reduces the
costs of goods and keeps retail prices competitive. Suppliers benefit because they
have a consistent outlet for their goods which makes planning and cash flow more
dependable.

Stability

When you find the right source for your products, it truly becomes a partnership.
Both businesses rely on each other to keep the supply chain intact. Developing a close
relationship can lead to higher quality (and efficiency) as suppliers and customers work
together to identify and minimize the root causes of any defects that hurt both buyer
and seller.

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 12

Managing Risk

Besides identifying and solving problems, a strong relationship built of trust can
help mitigate risk. When both parties know they can depend on each other, it opens
the door to honest conversation. For example, if one party is having temporary cash
flow concerns, it can be discussed openly. This lowers the risk for both parties.

How to Conduct Sourcing

If companies handle the sourcing themselves, there is no shortcut. Selecting a

supplier requires proper research and strategy.

Selecting a Supplier

Selecting a supplier as the source for your goods means investing the time and
effort to get to know them and ask the tough questions. After all, it is the reputation of
the business that is at stake. Companies need to do business with the suppliers that
will ensure their products will deliver the best results.

Here are some characteristics to look for when choosing a supplier:

1. Years of experience
2. Flexibility in changed order times
3. Wide range of available products and/or services
4. Negotiable prices
5. Customer reviews
6. Prompt delivery times
7. Accommodating customer service
8. Financial stability

It is important to remember that when you are choosing a vendor, you are choosing
a business partner. This needs to be someone you can trust and someone you can
rely on now and in the future. Vendors make a monumental impact on your business,
so choose wisely.

Securing a Supplier

If you can visit a supplier in person, your chances of securing that vendor grow
exponentially.

Sourcing suppliers will take an investment upfront, but it is key to creating an

efficient supply chain. It is just the beginning of the supply chain as you lock in vendors
that can provide the quality of goods you need at a price point that works for your
business.

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 13

 When the supply chain breaks down, it leads to lost sales, unhappy customers,
and can damage a company’s reputation. Take the time to thoroughly vet suppliers in
your sourcing process. It will pay off in the long run and maybe the short-term as well.

F. Sorting and Grading of Fruits and Vegetables

Advantages of Grading

1. The graded produce fetch better price in the market.

2. Grading helps develop greater confidence between buyers and growers.
3. Increase the marketing efficiency by facilitating buying and selling a produce
without personal selection.
4. Heavy marketing cost in packing and transportation can be avoided by grading
5. Increasing distributors’ profits
6. Increasing producers’ profits
7. Grading improves product uniformity within a grade and serves as the basis for
price.

Methods of Grading

Grading of fruits and vegetables is generally done on the basis of physical

characteristics like weight, size, color, shape, specific gravity, and freedom from
diseases. For fresh marketing, the known methods of grading of fruits and vegetables
are manual grading, or machine grading. In both the methods, the produce is graded
on the basis of size. However, electronic grading systems are gaining impetus in the
horticultural sector and have been used successfully in pilot scale studies. Grading
process is fully mechanized but in India, it is still done manually. Basic process behind
mechanical grading consists of a conveyor belt with a bag at the end wherein smaller
produce fall through the chain making grading process less extensive. Fruits and
vegetables are generally graded on the basis of state, federal, and international
standards. Every country has set its own standards of different grades as per the
market requirements. However, for international market, three general grades are
considered as Extra Class, Class I and Class II.

Extra Class: The extra class is of superior quality that poses the shapes and color of
the variety and without internal defect likely to affect the inherent texture and flavor. A
5-per cent tolerance is allowed for errors. It must be carefully presented taking into
accounts the uniformity of the produces in size, color, and condition arrangement of
the produce in the package, quality, and appearances of the packing or pre-packing
material.

Class I: It has almost having the same quality as the Extra Class except that a 10%
tolerance is allowed. Individual fruit is allowed a slight defect in shape, color and minor
skin defect which do not affect the general appearance for keeping qualities.

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 14

Class II: This class product may exhibit some external or internal defects provided it
fits for consumption while fresh. This class is best fitted for local or short distance
market. This category will satisfy the needs of customers who are not too demanding
and for whom price is more important than quality.

 Source: https://www.coolingindia.in/advantages-of-fruits-vegetables-grading/

Manual grading is costly and grading operation is affected due to shortage of

labor in peak seasons. Human operations may be inconsistent, less efficient and time
consuming. New trends in marketing as specified by World Trade Organization (WTO)
demand high quality graded products. Farmers are looking forward to having an
appropriate agricultural produce-grading machine in order to alleviate the labor
shortage, save time and improve graded product’s quality. Grading of fruits is a very
important operation as it fetches high price to the grower and improves packaging,
handling and brings an overall improvement in marketing system. The fruits are
generally graded on the basis of size and graded fruits are more welcome in export
market. Grading could reduce handling losses during transportation.

E. Safe Handling of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Any fresh fruit or vegetable could be contaminated with bacteria or viruses. This
contamination cannot be detected by the eye. However, when selecting fresh fruits
and vegetables, choosing fresh, high quality items may help reduce the risk of food
borne illness. Quality produce without bruises or cuts (these areas can harbor bacteria
and viruses) may be safer.
F. Selecting Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
1. It is best to shop often for fresh fruits and vegetables and to purchase only
the items which will be used within two to three days after purchase. This will
help reduce fruits and vegetables wasted due to spoilage.
2. Quality is also an important aspect when selecting fruits and vegetables.

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 16

 3. Fruits and vegetables should look healthy and smell fresh.
4. Consumers should choose items with good shape, color, and texture.
5. Avoid bruised, damaged, decayed, or molded fruits and vegetables. These
may carry harmful bacteria or viruses. Damaged fruits and vegetables will
also spoil faster.
6. When consumers purchase fresh, pre-cut, or pre-packaged fruits and
vegetables, they should choose items which are refrigerated or surrounded
by ice.
7. Once fruits and vegetables are cut or peeled, they must be refrigerated at a
temperature of 40 ⁰F or below.
8. Pre-cut fruits and vegetables should be packaged properly in air-tight
containers. Avoid opened or torn packages.
9. Choose pre-cut and pre-packaged fruits and vegetables with good color and
texture.
10. Fruits and vegetables which appear slimy or discolored should be avoided.
11. Consumers should verify use-by dates listed on packages of pre-cut or pre-
packaged produce. Fruits and vegetables should be eaten by this date.

G. Steps for washing fresh fruits and vegetables

1. Wash hands for 20 seconds with hot, soapy water. Dry with a paper towel.
2. Throw away outer leaves from heads of lettuce and cabbage before washing
them.
3. Wash with water. Wash whole fruits and vegetables thoroughly under cool,
clean, running water. Do not soak fruits and vegetables in water. Do not use
bleach, soaps, or detergents.
4. Rub soft fruits and vegetables which include tomatoes, lettuce, etc. with your
hands.
5. Scrub firm fruits and vegetables. These include melons, potatoes, etc. Skins
and rinds of firm fruits and vegetables should be scrubbed under cool, clean,
running water with a clean and sanitized fruit/vegetable brush.
6. Wash all fruits and vegetables even if the rind or skin is not eaten.

WBLS-OBE CG-Aligned Self-Learning Module TVL 12 17

H. Ways to Prevent Cross-contamination
1. Fresh fruits and vegetables must be separated from raw beef, poultry, fish,
and seafood.
2. Use separate cutting boards and knives for fresh fruits/vegetables and raw
meat, or wash and sanitize them between foods.
3. Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw meat and before handling fresh
fruits and vegetables.

Let us Remember:
1. When selecting fruits and vegetable, the main categories is their quality and
freshness.
2. Choose mature ripe and firm fruits.
3. All fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly inspected for blemishes,
decayed parts.
4. Sourcing allows companies to establish consistent supply chains. This
keeps your shelves stocked and customers happy.
5. Strategic planning in the sourcing process is central to cost structure, profit
margins, and competitiveness for businesses of all sizes.
6. It is important to remember that when you are choosing a vendor, you are
choosing a business partner. This needs to be someone you can trust and
someone you can rely on now and in the future. Vendors make a
monumental impact on your business, so choose wisely.
7. Fresh fruits and vegetables must be separated from raw beef, poultry, fish,
and seafood.
8. Use separate cutting boards and knives for fresh fruits/vegetables and raw
meat, or wash and sanitize them between foods.
9. Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw meat and before handling fresh
fruits and vegetables.
10. When selecting fresh fruits and vegetables, choosing fresh, high quality
items may help reduce the risk of food borne illness. Quality produce without
bruises or cuts (these areas can harbor bacteria and viruses) may be safer.
