Vegetables

Vegetables are plants cultivated for nourishments. Vegetables have edible parts comprised of some or all of the following: seeds and bulbs, roots such as in beet, leaves of the spinach, or the flower shoots and blooms of broccoli and cauliflower. Vegetables, as we have known them to be, are green but they can also be red, purple, or yellow as in bell peppers, leafy, some with buds, with edible roots and stems and provide the nutrients that can help in bodily disorders in humans. Vegetables like any living thing need nurturing. They can deteriorate, wilt, and decay. To maintain their quality they have to be refrigerated. In this way, decay is slowed down. Deterioration and decay in vegetables is caused by microorganisms like bacteria, germs, or bugs when condition is warm and humid.
