2 Where in the World did Our Favorite Foods Come From? by hannah madrone What are your favorite fruits & vegetables to grow and eat? Imagine taking a walk through a nearby veggie garden this summer. You will probably see a lot of different plants growing side by side. You might see carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers all in one bed. But what about the ancestors (great-great-great-great well, really great grandparents) of those veggies? Where did they come from in the very beginning? It might surprise you that those three vegetables you saw all in one place carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers were first grown in three very far apart places! Carrots started out in Western Europe, probably near where France is now. Tomatoes were first grown in Central and 1 South America, including what is now Mexico. Cucumbers originally grew in South Asia, near what is now India. The vegetables we love to grow and eat come from all over the world! Some edible plants come from North America, where we live. Cranberries originally grew in wetlands in what are now Canada and the northern parts of the United States. Jerusalem Artichokes (which are eaten more like a potato) come from the east and south parts of North America. Lots of plants with yummy seeds, such as sunflowers and walnuts, are from this continent too. Native Americans have been cultivating these plants since long before Europeans arrived here. People have been moving around the world for a long time, and edible plants have always moved with them. The recipes for cooking certain vegetables change when they move to new places, depending on what local people are used to eating. But when new vegetables come to a region, they also change what people eat. For example, many people in Europe were afraid to eat tomatoes when they first arrived from Central America. Some Europeans even thought they were poisonous! But now most people think of Italian foods with tomato sauce like pizza and spaghetti as completely normal. Can you find your favorite foods on the map? 2
3 How do people change plants? by hannah dayley How Have We Changed The Food We Eat? When you walk into the grocery store, there are so many colorful, delicious and healthy fruits and vegetables available. The food you see is only possible because of modern agriculture or farming. Farmers have cultivated food to be easy to eat and grow. To cultivate means to make something better by trying over and over until you get what you want. People cultivate plants by selective breeding. Growers can choose plants that have the best traits, and then select those plants to grow again next year. By choosing the best crop every year, the plants will get closer and closer to the taste and look we like. Plants that have been cultivated for a long time are very different from the original plant. You wouldn t even recognize what some foods looked like before. Let s take a look at some examples of plants that have changed over time. Bananas The bananas we eat today have soft fruit inside a soft skin that can be easily peeled. Before cultivation, bananas had a hard outer shell and were full of lots of very hard seeds. Carrots Wild carrots had roots that were much thinner, and looked more like roots of other plants. Ancient farmers probably didn t even use the roots of the plant, but instead used the leaves as a kind of herb. Carrots today come in many different colors: yellow, orange, red or purple. All of these carrots today have nutritious roots that people like to eat. Corn Corn is one of the most changed plants that we eat today. Corn comes from a wild grass called teosinte. Before cultivation it was almost impossible to eat! Native Americans began planting the seeds from the best tasting, softest, largest seeds. Now we have sweet juicy kernels that can be eaten in so many ways! by emilly apple by emilly apple The fruit of the banana has been cultivated for thousands of years. Over time, farmers have chosen to grow plants that only produce the most delicious fruits, slowly creating a much tastier banana. Fluffy Fruit Dip this dip is delicious with fresh fruit, berries & melons You will need 1 sm. jar marshmallow cream 1 package cream cheese 2-3 Tbls. milk, or soy, almond, or coconut milk ground cinnamon (to taste) instructions Soften cream cheese in a small bowl by setting out for 10 minutes or by microwaving 30 seconds at a time until soft. Add all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth and creamy. Vanilla Creme Dip this dip is excellent with peaches, plums & apples You will need 2 c. plain yogurt 1 package vanilla pudding mix 1 dash nutmeg instructions Put all your ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk or stir until thoroughly blended. Be sure to taste-test to get the amount of nutmeg you prefer. It s ready to eat as soon as it s blended, or you can refrigerate the dip for later. Mermaid or Pirate Tea Sandwiches great for garden hide-away tea parties You will need cottage or cream cheese canned tuna or sardines a few drops of lemon juice fresh herbs like dill or parsley or capers (optional) sliced bread butter instructions Mix first 4 ingredients together. Lightly spread butter on 2 slices of bread. This keeps the bread from becoming limp. Spread the filling. Cut off crusts and cut sandwiches into triangles or use a cookie cutter for shapes. Freeze bread slightly before preparing for nicer edges. 3 recipes & a poem Heart Beet Do you carrot at all for me? My heart beets for you, with your turnip nose and your radish face. you are a peach.
