Types of Food

1.What Kind of Vegetables Can Give Us Energy?

  • We get energy from carbohydrates.
  • Vegetables that are rich in starch can give us energy.
  • Root vegetables like potatoes, radishes, turnips, parsnips, and carrots are rich in starch.

2.Why Should We Not Eat Leafy Vegetables in the Monsoons?

  • During monsoons, leafy vegetables do not stay fresh for a long time.
  • If the weather is humid, many microorganisms grow on these vegetables, which can cause food poisoning and diarrhoea. Hence we should avoid eating leafy vegetables in monsoon.
