VEGETABLES form an important part of our daily diet.
They are essential for the necessary nutrients that makes our bodies function well.
This Sunday might be Father’s Day and but it is also Eat Your Vegetables Day.
Vegetables come in every colour of the rainbow, almost every shape and size, and the flavours they bring to the table are absolutely astounding.
Whether you’re just talking about the staple vegetables like carrots, potatoes and onions that we all get from the store, or the diverse range of vegetables that come from around the world like bok choy and watercress, we’ve all been eating them our whole lives.
The day is aimed at bringing an awareness of nutrition and the role it plays in a healthy lifestyle.
Vegetables are one of the hallmarks of civilisation. They might well have been the reason humans settled to farm and stopped being nomads. When they couldn’t travel anymore they planted crops and had to tend to their farms.
Our lives have changed because of vegetables, and our health too.
So celebrate these wonders of nature, and make a dish of your favourite vegetables. They are so good for you, after all!
