What is your favourite food that is a leaf, stem, or root? Lots of plants are grown for their leaves. Lettuce grows in different shapes, from long and tall to round and fat. Lettuce leaves are popular in salads. Spinach leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. They’re full of minerals and vitamins.
Stems make good food, too. Celery stalks can be cooked or eaten raw. Rhubarb stems are delicious in pie. The potato is an underground stem vegetable.
You might think an onion is a root vegetable, but it isn’t. The part you eat is really leaves. Carrots, beets, and radishes are root vegetables. They grow underground. They are popular with people all over the world.
