Question

ask your parents and write how different grains on vegetables are grown?​

Answer 1

Answer:

One way to examine the difference between vegetables and grains is botanically. Both these food groups come from plants, but the difference is in the details. Vegetables and grains each come from certain portions of the plants they’re a part of. Keep reading for the details.

Grains are similar to legumes in that both consist of the seeds of the plants they come from. However, grains come from a specific type of plants (and only from that type of plants): grasses.

Vegetables are a wider food group, consisting of the edible portions of the plants they come from. Vegetables can come from any almost part of the plant, whether it’s the root, stem, leaf, sprout, or the whole thing.

However, vegetables do not consist of the seeds or ripened ovaries of the plants they’re derived from. (The ripened ovaries of certain plants are what we call fruits.)

Corn is an exception, as each kernel is a seed, attached to the cob, which is the ovary of the corn plant. However, the kernels become seeds once they’ve been dried, and we don’t eat corn as a vegetable when it’s been dried. Although we consider popcorn, which comes from the dried kernels, a whole grain food, the entire corn cob in its dried form is actually a fruit.

But we don’t eat the entire cob, only the kernels. And because corn is the descendant of a grass plant called teosinte, the dried kernels count as a grain like other grass seeds. Before the kernels are dried (the way we eat them at the dinner table, on the cob or off), the kernels aren’t seeds but are actually “non-seed edible structures,” according to the food writer behind joepastry.com. In that form, corn counts as a vegetable
