What are broccoli and beans?

Broccoli and beans are vegetables that grow on plants and can be eaten to help our bodies stay healthy.

Imagine a tree with lots of little trees growing out of it, that’s what broccoli looks like! It has florets, which are like tiny leaves, and a big green stalk in the middle. Broccoli grows on a plant, and when we pick it, we can cook it or eat it raw. It tastes a bit like cabbage but with more crunch.

A bean is like a little seed that grows inside a pod, think of it like a tiny fruit. Beans come in many shapes and colors: some are round, some are long, and they can be green, red, or even black! When we cook them, they get soft and squishy, and they're really good for making soups, stews, and snacks.

Both broccoli and beans give our bodies energy and help us grow strong, just like how you need food to play all day!
