Fruits and Vegetables

Defined as the developed ovary of a seed plant with its contents and accessory parts, fruits are a wide variety of deliciously edible foods that include berries, grapes, watermelon and tomato, among many others. A vegetable is any edible stem, root, or leaf of a plant. While most vegetables are cooked in order to be edible, there are some that can be eaten raw. There are also fruits which are considered vegetables. In botanical terms, all vegetables that have seed are called fruits, and there is no distinction for vegetables. Vegetable is the culinary term for fruits that are not sweet, but instead savory.

How do you get iron by eating vegetables?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Iron can be obtained from vegetables that contain non-heme iron. Leafy greens like spinach and kale, legumes such as lentils and beans, and plant-based sources like tofu and tempeh are rich in iron. To enhance absorption, pair these with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits and tomatoes. While non-heme iron is less easily absorbed than heme iron from animal sources, a well-balanced diet with diverse iron-rich vegetables ensures a steady intake. Be mindful of compounds like oxalates in some veggies that may hinder absorption. A nutritionally varied approach helps meet iron needs for overall health.

Corn seeds grow best when they are sown directly into the garden. Sow seeds directly in the garden 15-25mm deep and 20-30cm apart, with rows 50-90cm apart. Keep soil moist but never wet or dry. Seeds should germinate in around 5-14 days at a soil temperature of 16-35°C.

What types of trees grow in jungles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Orchids

It is estimated that there are about 18,000 species of orchids and of these 70 per cent are epiphytes. They take their nutrients and water from the air which makes them perfect for rainforest canopy plants. They grow on host plants, but take nothing from them. Pollination, aided by birds and insects, produces masses of seeds, which are mostly wind dispersed.

Canopy BirdsSome jungle birds spend their entire lives in the canopy of the jungle rainforest. They nest in holes in trees or among the bromeliads (flowering plants native to the American tropics known for their boldcolours and unusual shapes) and other epiphytes that live near the top of the trees. One of the most striking of these birds is the Toucan. Known for its extra large, colourful beak, toucans eat mostly seeds and fruits, but have been known to eat insects and small reptiles. Hummingbird FlowersHummingbirds prefer brightly coloured flowers that have cuplike shapes and sweet nectar. Passionflowers are particularly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. The resulting passion fruits are then eaten by a variety of birds and animals, both of which help disperse the seeds in their droppings. ref 1 and resource
