Hi! We're 1/2LK and we're here to tell you all about fruit and veg!
Did you know that bananas are herbs? They are because they don't have a trunk made of wood their leaves form a trunk.
Or how about that capsicum comes in purple, yellow, orange, green, white and red. First the farmers pick the capsicum when they're green and the plant produces another flower. If you pick them when they turn red, yellow, orange or purple or white, the plant won't make another flower. (That's why green ones are cheaper.)
How about that avocado are in the Guiness book of world records for being healthy!
You might not know but banana and avocado and citrus are the best things to eat before playing sport because they give you lots of energy without making you sick.
Did you know that our taste buds change every month? So if you didn't like something last month you should try it again, in case you like it now.
Today we had a visit from Caroline and Tisha from Market Fresh. They taught us all about the giant wholesale fruit and veg markets in Footscray. This is the place where all the supermarkets and fruit stores buy their fruit and veg from the farmers and wholesalers. It's really huge and it has lots of fruit and vegetables from all over Australia.
We learnt all about fruit and veg and, thanks to Caroline and Tisha and the parent volunteers we got to try lots of beautifully prepared fruit and veg. It was yum!!
I enjoyed eating the fruit! Nicholas
