- We all eat different kinds of food at different times.
- Food items are made with ingredients.
- Plants are the sources of food ingredients like grains, cereals, vegetables and fruits.
- Animals provide us with milk, meat products and eggs. Cows, goats and buffaloes are some common animals which give us milk. Milk and milk products like butter, cream, cheese and curd are used all over the world.
- Some plants have two or more edible (eatable) parts. Seeds of mustard plants give us oil and the leaves are used as a vegetable.
- Bees collect nectar (sweet juices) from flowers, convert it into honey and store it in their hive. Flowers and their nectar may be available only for a part of the year. So, bees store this nectar for their use all through the year.
