Vegetables are good for you!

Vegetables are good for us. They help our bodies stay healthy. There are many kinds of vegetables. For example, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and cucumbers are vegetables. Carrots are orange and long. They are good for our eyes. Potatoes are brown and round. We use potatoes to make chips and fries. Tomatoes are red and juicy. We use tomatoes in salads and sandwiches. Cucumbers are green and long. They taste fresh and crunchy. We eat cucumbers in salads, too. Eating vegetables every day is important. Vegetables make us strong and keep us healthy.

Some vegetables are green and leafy. Leafy vegetables have leaves. Lettuce, spinach, broccoli, and cabbage are leafy vegetables. Lettuce is used in sandwiches and salads. Spinach gives us iron, and it helps our blood stay healthy. Broccoli has many health benefits. It contains many vitamins and minerals. You can eat it raw or cooked. Cabbage is round and has many leaves. People cook cabbage or eat it fresh. Green leafy vegetables give us vitamins that our body needs every day. Eating them keeps us healthy.

Other vegetables come in different colours. Peppers can be red, yellow, green, or orange. Peppers taste sweet or a little spicy. They add colour and flavour to food. Corn is yellow and sweet. Corn grows in fields, and we eat it on the cob. Onions can be white or red. They can make us cry when we cut them. We use onions to add taste to our food. Pumpkins are orange when they are ripe.
