5. What are the plants that grow in water and we eat?
Save on tech designed for you.
Plants that grow in water are known as ‘Aquatic Plants’ and as the name says these plants are adapted to living in water bodies, whether fresh water or salt water like ponds, river, sea etc.
Now there are certain aquatic plants that are quite regular in human consumption. Like -
Lotus -
This is a beautiful aquatic plant that needs no introduction due to it’s splendid flowers and broad round leaves that float on the top. Nearly all parts of this plant are edible right from the roots to stem, flowers, seeds and young leaves too.
Lotus Stem -
Lotus stem commonly known as ‘Kamal Kakdi’ in India is widely used in cooking for making curries, stir fries, chips and other delicacies.

Lotus Seed -
Lotus seeds or ‘Fox Nuts’ when roasted or fried make an amazing snack…just like ‘Pop Corn’. In India, we call it ‘Makhana’. These are commonly used as ‘Dry Fruit’ in desserts, shakes, smoothies and also curries.

Wild Rice -
Wild Rice also known as Indian Rice or ‘Water Oats’ has a chewy outer sheath with a tender inner grain that has a slightly nutty taste. The plants grow in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams. This is high in Fiber and Protein and recommended for people suffering with chronic constipation.
Water Chestnut -
Water chestnut is actually not a nut at all, but an aquatic vegetable that grows in marshes, underwater in the mud. It has tube-shaped, leafless green stems that grow to about 1.5 meters. The small, rounded corms have a crisp white flesh and can be eaten raw, slightly boiled or grilled.
Water Spinach -
Water spinach is a semi-aquatic, tropical plant grown as a vegetable for its tender shoots and leaves that are eaten.
6. The following are the ways by which wastage of food can be avoided.
1) Buy only what you need in absolute quantities.
2) Try to avoid storing foods in large amounts.
3) Try to eat food only when you are hungry.
