Eating the Parts of a Plant???

This week we learned that we often eat ALL parts of a plant... Ask/share with your children what the part of a plant is when they are eating it. I believe that bestowing responsibility and knowledge about our planet and its fruits help build a sense of responsibility on our newest generation! We had been naming the parts of a plant for a couple weeks when I introduced that we can also EAT what we grow!!! This was quite a revelation when we discovered what we grow: ROOT: carrot, SEED: sesame seed, STEM: celery. LEAF: spinach, FLOWER: broccoli
