What Parts of the Plant Do We Eat?

Recently Ms. Fein's students reviewed the parts of a plant.  They then looked at several vegetables and organized them by what part of the plant they ate: roots, stem, leaves, seeds, fruit and flowers. Afterwards they ate samples of the vegetables, some with ranch dressing.

The vegetables and the parts:

Roots: carrots, beets, radish, onion
Stem: celery, broccoli, stems
Leaves: lettuce, arugula, basil, swiss chard, kale, beets (also spinach)
Fruit: apples, tomato, cucumber, zucchini
Flowers: broccoli
Seeds: beans, corn
