Vegetables

They have been an integral part,

giving varieties to kitchen carts,

flowers, fruits, leaves and roots,

fulfilling hunger with edible plants. 


They are our healthy delights,

green or red, a colorful sight,

enrich our plates, with nutriments,

letting their shine, make life bright. 


So, let's praise their contributions,

those families, being part of our cooking,

Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae,

Along with many more family trees. 


They take care of essential nutrients, 

vitamins, minerals, fibers, antioxidants, 

some with protein, but low in calories, 

complementing our grain intakes. 


So, let us embrace, these nature's gifts,

from farm to table, utilized for our benefits, 

as salads, curries, other savory cuisines, 

catering to tastes, with our cooking....

And helping world, become sustainable!!
