Many vegetables have inner fluids that are slightly acidic or alkaline. When these vegetables are pierced with metal pairs that have an electomotive potential between them (copper and zinc for example) the sap in the vegetable acts as the electrolyte in a battery. Connecting the rods allows a current to flow from one to the other.
