Turnip:
When I mentioned turnip to a friend of mine she was confused and flustered. She thought she had heard the name but forgot what it looked like. On describing the veggie, she recalled her mother cooking it.
This is the extent to which our vegetables have lost their ground. This white-coloured root is high in fibre content and is very beneficial for those suffering from diabetes.
Pumpkin:
Peter Peter Pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her well. Nowadays, children will not be able to recognise a pumpkin in its cut form. Thanks to Halloween, they know what this vitamin A-rich vegetable looks like when uncut.
Flat Beans:
French beans are consumed by many but its other cousin, the flat beans, is losing popularity. Not many people buy it, and hence many families do not know the presence of these vitamin and mineral rich vegetable.
Cauliflower Leaves:
Cauliflower is pretty popular, but what about its leaves? This is one of the very healthy veggies you think is bad and hence discard it. In fact, the vegetable vendors themselves discard the leaves.
Had I not seen my mother preparing pickle of cauliflower leaves, I too would have been throwing away these leaves. Just like any leafy green, these veggies too are rich in calcium and iron, and deserve every bit to make it to our dinner tables.
Bottle Gourd:
A humble vegetable that does not have great looks, but is rather healthy for the digestive system. It has a very light property, which makes it easy to digest. There are multiple ways of preparing the bottle gourd; however, since children are not favourable towards it, the bottle gourd hardly finds its way into many homes.
