Explanation
There are five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. They help us stay healthy.
TROPICAL FRUITS grow in hot places (like banana, mango, papaya).
CITRUS FRUITS are juicy and sour (like orange, lime, grapefruit).
STONE FRUITS have a big seed inside (like peach, apricot, plum).
BERRIES are small, soft, and sweet (like strawberry, blueberry, raspberry).
WHOLE GRAINS – These have all parts of the grain: bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples: brown rice, whole wheat, oats, quinoa, barley.
REFINED GRAINS– These are processed to remove the bran and germ, which also removes fiber and nutrients. Examples: white rice, white bread, regular pasta, plain flour.
ENRICHED GRAINS – Refined grains that have some nutrients added back after processing. Examples: enriched white bread, enriched flour, enriched pasta.
There are five main types of vegetables, based on the part of the plant we eat.
LEAFY – We eat the leaves. Examples: lettuce, spinach, kale.
ROOT – We eat the roots. Examples: carrot, beet, radish.
STEM – We eat the stem. Examples: celery, asparagus.
FLOWER – We eat the flowers. Examples: broccoli, cauliflower.
FRUIT – These grow from flowers and have seeds. Examples: tomato, cucumber, bell pepper.
Vegetarians and vegans can get enough protein by eating a variety of plant-based foods that are rich in protein. Here’s a simple guide:
1. Eat beans and lentils — they are high in protein and fiber.
2. Include nuts and seeds like almonds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds.
3. Choose whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice, and oats, which contain protein too.
4. Try soy products like tofu, tempeh, and edamame, which are great protein sources.
5. Combine different plant foods (like rice and beans) to get all essential amino acids your body needs.
Dairy products come from milk. They include things like milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and cream. They help keep our bones strong.
Pineapple is a tropical fruit.
It belongs to the fruit group.
Fruits give us vitamins, especially vitamin C, which helps our body stay strong and healthy.
Pineapple is sweet, juicy, and good for your immune system.
Boiled Egg – Protein Group
It comes from animals and helps build strong muscles and keep your body healthy.
FOOD GROUPS:
GRAINS (macaroni/pasta)
DAIRY (cheese)
Why it's important: Grains give you energy, and dairy gives you calcium for strong bones.
