Objective

Students will be able to:

1) distinguish between the classification of vegetables

2) identify the nutrients present in vegetables and their functions

3) explain the purchasing and storing of fresh vegetables Slide3

Essential Questions

1) How are vegetables classified?

2) What nutrients are supplied by vegetables?

3) Why are they important in your diet?

4) How can vegetables be prepared and served?

5) How should vegetables be purchased and stored?Slide4

Vegetable Classifications - 8

Vegetables are

often

classified according

to the part of the plant from which they come.

Bulbs

Flowers

Fruits

StemsLeavesSeedsTubersRootsSlide5

Bulbs

Examples:

Garlic and onionsSlide6

Flowers

Examples:

Artichokes, broccoli and cauliflowerSlide7

Fruits

Examples:

Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Okra, Peppers, Pumpkins and SquashSlide8

Stems

Examples:

Asparagus and celerySlide9

Leaves

Examples:

Brussels sprouts, cabbage, lettuce and spinach. Slide10

Seeds

Examples:

Peas, corn and beans.Slide11

Tubers

Examples:

Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes Slide12

Roots

Examples:

Beets, carrots, parsnips, radishes, rutabagas, and turnips.Slide13

Color and Flavor

These are two other ways to classify vegetables.

1) FLAVOR:

Strong flavored

vegetables would include:

Brussels sprouts, turnips and cauliflower.

Mild flavored vegetables would include: Peas, beans and potatoes2) COLOR: Green vegetables(leafy) might include: Spinach, Swiss chard, and kale ChlorophyllOrange/Yellow vegetables might include: carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkin CaroteneWhite vegetables

might include: Cauliflower and Parsnips flavones

Red vegetables

might include: beets and red

cabage

 anthocyanin Slide14

Nutritional Value

-

3 to 5 servings of vegetables should be included in your diet every day.

-They are low in calories/fat and are rich in fiber which promotes good digestion.

-

Vegetables provide an excellent source of vitamins and minerals that can reduce your risk for stroke, heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer!

Here’s why:

Leafy green and deep yellow vegetables

= excellent sources of Vitamin A, Calcium and Iron. Vitamin A is good for your hair, skin, and eyes. Calcium builds strong teeth and bones and Iron is good for your red blood cells! Broccoli, green peppers, and raw cabbage = excellent sources of Vitamin C which is good for your immune system and reduces the risk of many diseases. All vegetables = fair amounts of the B Vitamins Vegetable skin and pulp = fiber which aids in digestion.Seeds, roots and tubers(starchy vegetables)= good carbsSlide15

Selecting Fresh Vegetables

Look for these signs for freshness

:

Good color, firmness and absence of bruising/decay.

Avoid wilted and misshapen vegetables.

Medium in size are best. Small veggies may be immature and lack flavor while large veggies can be over-mature and tough.

Also note

:Handle vegetables carefully to prevent bruising.Buy only what you will use within a short time. Vegetables lose quality quickly.Vegetables in season are usually high in quality and low in price.Slide16

Storing Fresh Vegetables

You should use them ASAP for best flavor, appearance and nutritive value. Most can keep in fridge for at least a few days

or in plastic bags/containers at room temperature. Slide17

Cost of Vegetables

The cost of vegetables depends on the time of year. Vegetables cost less when purchased during their peak growing season.

Example: Jersey corn is cheapest in the summer months.

If vegetables are purchased in the off season you will pay more. Remember you are paying shipping and handling for that item to get to you.

Next time you are in the produce section, check out the stickers on your veggies and see where your produce is coming from.Slide18

Other options for purchasing Vegetables

If you can’t buy fresh why not buy:

Canned

Frozen

DriedSlide19

Canned

These can be whole, sliced or in pieces and most are in water. A few may be stored in sauces. Some are also available in jars

These usually cost less than fresh or frozen. House brands (i.e.. Stop n Shop brand) will be less than commercial (Green Giant).

Choose cans that are free from dents, bulges, and leaks.

Store in a cool, dry place and store unused portions in the fridge.Slide20

Frozen Vegetables

These retain their appearance and flavor better than canned or dried varieties. It may alter their texture a little.

These usually cost less than fresh, especially when looking for those not in season.

Choose packages that are clean and solidly frozen. Store in the coldest part of the freezer.Slide21

Dried Vegetables

Most common are: peas, beans and lentils. These legumes are high in protein and excellent sources of fiber.

Choose those that are uniform in size, free from visible defects and brightly colored.

Store them in covered containers in a cool dry place.Slide22

Preparing vegetables - Raw

Most vegetables can be enjoyed raw and that is truly the most advantageous for vitamin absorption.

Remember raw veggies must be washed and trimmed well.

Trim bruised areas.

Use a vegetable brush to scrub stubborn dirt from crevices.

Do not soak your vegetables as nutrients may be lost this way.

Leafy green vegetables may need several washings to remove dirt and sand.Slide23

Cooked Vegetables

Changes take place in vegetables when they are cooked.

Cellulose(fiber) softens to make chewing easier.

Starch absorbs water, swells and becomes easier to digest.

Flavors and nutrients change, and some may be lost.

Notes:

Properly cooked

=Veggies with a crisp-tender texture and pleasant color. Easily pierced with a fork.

Overcooked= undesirable changes in color, texture, flavor. May loose some of their nutrients.Slide24

Effects of Cooking Vegetables on their color/pigment:

Green vegetables contain

chlorophyll

. Heat affects this and that is why overcooked vegetables may look duller in color.

Yellow vegetables contain

carotene

(a source of Vitamin A). Heat does not destroy this, but it will escape into the water. Less water is best!

White vegetables contain

flavones. Which are soluble in water. They will turn yellow or dark grey if overcooked.Red vegetables contain anthocyanin. Alkali in water will affect it. Also cook in small amount of water or add some lemon juice or vinegar when cooking.Slide25

Effects of Cooking Vegetables on their Flavor:

Mildly flavored vegetables (green beans, peas, spinach): Should only be cooked in a small amount of water.

Strongly flavored(Cabbage, broccoli, turnips) should be covered in water allowing some of the flavor to escape.

Very strongly flavored(Onions, leeks) should also be covered in water.Slide26

Methods of Cooking Vegetables

In water: boiling or blanching

Over water: Steaming

Baking

Frying

Broiling

MicrowavingSlide27

Cooking in water

Suggestions: Use a pan with a tight fitting lid and add a small amount of water and salt. Bring to a boil and add vegetables. Cover and quickly bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer until crisp-tender.Slide28

Steaming

Place vegetables in a steam basket over simmering water. Cover pan tightly and steam until visually or fork-tender.Slide29

Baking

Some vegetables can be baked in their skins (think potatoes!)

Techniques vary with vegetable and recipe. Follow all instructions carefully.

This takes longer than other methods.Slide30

Frying

Deep fried,

sauteed

in oil, stir frying are all examples.

Placing the vegetables in a pan with some sort of fat (EVOO, vegetable oil, butter, etc) will prevent them from sticking to the sides and provide flavor

Best to cook them over medium heat until tender.Slide31

Broiling

Brush cut surfaces with oil or melted fat. Place under the broiling unit and cook until tender. Careful! These cook quickly and must be watched!

Think tomatoes, eggplants and

brussels

sprouts. Slide32

Microwave

Vegetables cooked this way often retain their shapes, color, flavor and nutrients given the short cooking time.

Frozen vegetables cooked in their packages must be vented for steam to escape.

Potatoes or tight skin vegetables should be pierced so they don’t explode.

Remember all vegetables will be hot when they come out so handle carefully and let them sit before cutting or eating!Slide33

Vegetable Finale!

Vegetables look good and are good for you!

They can be purchased, prepared and served in many different ways!

Your body needs the essential vitamins and nutrients provided by them.

Eat at least 3 to 5 a day!Slide34

Succulents

Flower, fruit, stem, and leaf vegetables are also called succulents because of their high moisture content.
