They give you a lot of energy.”They moved on to get some peas. Her father told her, “While peas are considered to be vegetables, pea pods which contain peas are actually fruits. They contain every type of vitamin that a human body needs so you should eat them without arguing with your mother.”They bought some carrots. “Carrots are root vegetables. They grow under the soil as roots.” Tanya loved carrots. They are very crunchy and tasty and according to her father, they have a lot of vitamins.They bought onions and Tanya remembered that these are the vegetables that bring tears to her mother’s eyes. Onions grow in multiple colours like red, yellow white. They have a very sharp taste and are very healthy. They are used in a lot of different dishes to spice them up.Tanya was very tired. She had a long day in the market and asked her father about how long it will be until they got to go home.Her father laughed, “We just have to buy some cucumbers now. Then we can leave.”Tanya loved cucumbers. They are crunchy and tasty. She had recently found out that like tomatoes, cucumbers are also considered to be fruits.
