Common Fruits You See Every Day

Fruits are sweet, healthy foods that grow on trees and plants. You can find an apple in many colors, like red and green. A banana is yellow and curved, and an orange is round and full of juice. Strawberries are small and sweet, grapes grow in bunches, and a lemon is yellow and sour. Always pick fruit that looks and feels fresh.

Vegetables in the Kitchen

Vegetables are full of vitamins and are very good for you. A carrot is orange and long, and rabbits love it. An onion can make you cry when you cut it, and a potato grows under the ground. A tomato is red and juicy, a pepper can be green or red, and a cucumber is long and cool. Broccoli looks like a small green tree.

Words to Describe Fresh Produce

When you go to the market, you want to find the best fruit and vegetables. The word fresh means the food is new and not old. If a fruit is ripe, it is ready to eat, but if it is raw, it is not cooked. Sweet fruits have a lot of sugar, while a sour taste is sharp, like a lemon. Color, smell, and feel can all help you choose good produce.

Eating Well Every Day

Fruit and vegetables are an important part of a healthy meal. Many people eat an apple or a banana for a quick snack. You can put tomato, cucumber, and pepper in a salad, or cook potato and broccoli for dinner. Eating fresh and raw produce every day gives you more energy and helps you stay strong.
