Plantain

In 3. Fleshy, Veggie Periodic Table Families On April 24, 2020 0 Comments

I can be planted not as a seed
but by stem propagation
I have a tender green trunk
I grow from a whole big red pod
with male and female parts in the same flower
that facilitates fertilization
into thick skinned plantains with baby seeds inside
when I am green I can be fried into chips
and when ripe can be steamed or sauteed to become very sweet

Bell Pepper

In 3. Fleshy, Veggie Periodic Table Families On April 24, 2020 0 Comments

You can’t wear my scientific name as a cap annually ! You can’t hear me when I ring my bell, though I am shaped like one!
colored green, yellow, red or orange commonly; brown, white, lavender or deep purple rarely;
depending on the time of harvesting and ripening !
green pepper is harvested unripe, more bitter and cheaper; red pepper is sweeter than green;
has 11 times more beta carotene,
10 times more vitamin A,
twice as much vitamin C than green bell pepper !!

I am a favorite vegetable of chefs to display their culinary skills, when stuffed and baked / steamed / sauteed or grilled in veggie burgers/ kebabs ***

Guess Me ?
” There is not enough room
to mush around this field
to grow from the ground
as button, oyster or shitake”

Bitter Melon

BITTER MELON
Though I may be a melon, most bitter am I to taste
unliked by all,  but doctors advice me to be eaten often
especially those with Diabetes
since I metabolize sugars from carbs faster for improved glycemic control (blood glucose lowering effect) .
