Eating vegetables is as old as humanity. Already at the beginning of its development, an old man collected leaves, roots, onions, rhizomes, and wild plants in nature. Already supplemented the main nutritional substances with vegetable and medicinal ingredients.
What are vegetables in fact? The set of crops that we include is not precisely bordered – some species also belong to legumes (in maturity), sometimes under vegetables in some areas include root crops, (early potatoes, turnips, turnips), some cloves belong to spice and also medicinal plants. Atlas Web Blog will provide many vegetables fun facts, don’t miss them!
Artichoke
Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a precious and expensive vegetable for us. But the garden can be grown from pre-cultivated seedlings. Otherwise, it can be bought in a fresh or canned store.
Artichoke is a decorative plant, multi-year old (but the underground part of it often perishes) and we consume blossoms that have not yet blossomed. Mainly pulpy bed and fleshy parts of the bottom leaves of “flower”.
Artichoke has significant anti-sclerotic effects, lowers blood cholesterol, sugar, saves liver and gall bladder, and is suitable for rheumatism and people with high blood pressure. It contains a complex of active substances. Vitamins B, C, carotene, sugar inulin for diabetics, flavonoids, slime, minerals, mustard, etc.
When cooking, cut the stem, hardened and dried parts, and then lemon juice. Boil it in salted water with a little vinegar. We eat it boiled with various sauces, fried (beds), filled as a delicacy. While eating, we hold the artichoke with our left hand, rip off the flesh of the right, and then sip it in a sauce. Remove the unusual part (the remains of the flowers) with a knife and a fork with a fork and a pulpy bed.
Bamboo shoots
For us exotic vegetables, but in southern China and surrounding countries a regular part of the spring kitchen. In fact, they are the booming shoots of giant grasses of the Bambus species, growing in different parts of tropical and subtropical Asia, as well as Africa and America. Their season is short, they must be harvested and processed quickly, and soon they are woody. Either can be preserved in salt brine cut into bigger pieces or noodles or dried or smoked for local use.
Bamboo sprouts contain enough protein, carbohydrates, mainly in the form of starch, small amounts of fat and around 1% of minerals. The content of vitamins is not too high, especially in the sterilized product there are not many. They contain less vitamin C, vitamins B and others in traces.
Here we can buy sterilized shoots. They are part of Chinese and South Asian dishes. But they have spread to the kitchens of the US, Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, and Oriental restaurants all over the world, also in a variety of stuffing. In our place, we can replace celery, grubs, white cabbage, pepper, and other fruits.
Broccoli
We already come to the taste of great vegetables, not like a cauliflower. Broccoli (Brossica oleracea, var. Italica), as it appears from the Latin name, actually comes from the Apennine peninsula. However, intensive breeding work has been done on broccoli in the US, and is more popular than its younger follower, cauliflower. In recent years, varieties have varied in color from green to blue-green, violet, black-green, reddish, and so on. It is delicate, it eats all, including pulpy stems, which must be cooked longer than rosettes. These can also be eaten raw with various yoghurt or mayonnaise types.
Broccoli is strongly antisklerotic in its complex of content substances. It is very suitable for diabetics. It works against cancer, medicine for gastric duodenal ulcers, beneficial to the intestine. It is also a vegetable for a reduction diet.
Vitamin C has 3.5 times more vitamin C than citrus, many carotenes, a lot of vitamin E, niacin, biotin, vitamins E, etc. It has the most potassium, calcium and phosphorus minerals. It also contains iron, magnesium, sulfur, zinc and others.
Broccoli berme as a cure, cook for the shortest time. We prepare a delicious soup, a thick onion bowl with a little curry. And try delicious roses for cheese as a salad. We will prepare the dressing for one bigger broccoli100 g soy mayonnaise and 120 gwhite yogurt, finely chopped onions, ketchup spoon, mustard spoon and 3 tablespoons of fresh green greens (eg dill, chives, cherry, parsley, basil, melon, etc.). Add some salt and pepper, stir and pour small sprouts. Otherwise, we serve it with boiled grated cheese, almonds, sesame, can be baked, choked etc.
Celery
Celery (Apium graveolens, conv. Rapaceum) came to us early in the Middle Ages from Italy. The tuberous celery is popular with us, but it is almost unknown in Italy, France, Spain, and the USA, and there is cultivated celery celery with broad, pulpy, whitish leaf petioles. Besides, there is a ribbed celery that almost does not make bulrus and is cultivated for a delicate, aromatic flavor.
Since ancient times, celery has been valued as a cure. It has diuretic properties and so is recommended in the bottom, rheumatism, arthritis. It reduces blood pressure, cleanses the liver and reduces the blood sugar content of diabetics, soothe neurotic. The leaves have up to 75 mg of vitamin C in100 g(2x more than lemon), less root. It also contains provitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin K, E, etc. It is rich in minerals, especially potassium (much more in leaves), phosphorus, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, iodine. Pectin is also in the bowl. If we use a bullet with a nail, we never let go of it.
Celery is excellent, for example, Soup, thickened with goulash, flavored with nutmeg. From a raw celery finely grated with carrots, a small onion and mixed with soy mayonnaise flavored with pepper, spreads are prepared. Without celery would not be the famous Waldorf salad, known in many variations. E.g. From a cup of whipped cream, a spoonful of lemon juice, a cup of cooked celery, 2 cups of apple cubes, 2 tablespoons of raisins, 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts, salt and pepper. Serve it as an appetizer.

Cheekbones pucks
As a new vegetable, she appeared in Brussels in 1846 when the gardener of the botanical garden noticed that solid and tasty puffs grew from the roots of the chicory for the production of a coffee-based peat. And since then it has been bred as a vegetable. It is also called witloof, Flemish white leaf (Cichorium intybus, var. Foliosum). So the first year grows roots, and then in winter, often without soil, fast in the dark at 14-16C to harvest fragile pucks.
It is a valuable winter and pre-harvest season. Vitamins do not have much but a good supply of minerals – potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, calcium, and so on.

Beetroot
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris var. Crassa) is related to diabetes, mangold. It was known in antiquity, coming from the northern Mediterranean coast. Most grown in Eastern Europe and the United States. There are various types – red, with red and white circles, white and black. The top quality is red. There are also different shapes – spherical, spherical, cylindrical.
Red beet contains less amount of oxalic acid, so be careful with the patient’s urethra. Of sugars (having between 2 and 12%), there is quite a lot of sucrose – therefore, smaller doses of beet in diabetics. It also
contains many pectin that promotes the secretion of cholesterol, lead and radioactive substances. It has a higher protein content (1-3%) with valuable amino acids that are beneficial to brain metabolism. Betain acts against the tissues and protects the liver. Vitamins do not have much – about 15 mg of vitamin C, low carotene, and vitamin B1, B2. But it contains dyes (anthocyanins – red) beneficial to high blood pressure, for capillary strength. Beet is rich in potassium and magnesium – therefore it is suitable for atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart disease and blood circulation. It has a very high iron content – most of the vegetables, also copper, so it is beneficial for blood formation. It contains a lot of microprojects – iodine, manganese, zinc content surpassing other vegetables, fluoro, cobalt, lithium, vanadium and others. In their complex, they promote insulin production, visual acuity, protection from heart attack, blood formation and metabolism at all.

The entire plant is saturated with sulfur-containing silica. To anyone who has a nasty garlic smell, it is necessary to explain that this essential oil is a source of healing powers – it kills effectively germs, ie infections. Garlic, however, has other good properties, promotes bile secretion, prevents spasms, regulates intestinal microflora. It has a positive influence on breathing, blood circulation in the heart, reduces blood pressure, reduces blood sugar in diabetes, is recommended against atherosclerosis.

He has not expanded in our country, but France, for example, weighs the endives otherwise, as well as Great Britain. Also the peoples of southern Europe, there is a popular antiquity there. It was considered a healing plant to strengthen the liver, and today’s medicine has confirmed.
From the 17th Century, endives, also called frisée, love the French. Two forms are grown – autumn curly mossy endives with fine, curved leaves, often with a black center. Winter endives, or escariolas, have thicker leaves, often tied to fade and soften. They are stiff and harvested at Christmas.

Nowadays, we grow a bean of a generous bean and a bean shrimp produced from it. We know varieties of green, black, violet or annealed pods of varying sizes. The beans were brought to Central Europe in the 16th Century. Today they are grown all over the world. Excellent pods have also a Phaseolus coccineus bean, a growing growing decorative bean with red, white or white-red flowers.
As a vegetable, we harvest unkempt pods. We use them only heat treated. Raw are slightly toxic. In our kitchen, this vegetable is not yet appreciated. They are rich in riboflavin (B2), folic acid, vitamin E. Vitamin C, carotene, niacin and other vitamins B are also present. Mineral substances have very much potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium , iodine, very little sodium, iron etc.
Beans are valuable vegetables in diabetes, reducing blood sugar. There are also antibacterial substances in the pods. Agglutinins have some influence in the prevention and treatment of malignant neoplasms. They are highly diuretic, so they are suitable for heart diseases and diseases of the bloodstream, kidneys. Beans are hardly sterilized in households for high protein content.

Then taste with salt, pepper, ornament with red, eg sterilized pepper and parsley.

And in the Arabian countries tahini sauce (sesame).
Kedluben – cabbage cabbage
The close relative of all brassica oleracea (var. Gongylodes) is known about two hundred years before our birth. His ancestor was a Pompeii brukve, a primitive kohlrabi with only a reinforced stem. The present form of the kangaroo is probably from two centers – the Mediterranean and China.

Sweet corn
Corn is known as a crop of about 2500 years, it was the most widespread plant in Pre-Columbian America, Peru and Bolivia. Sweet corn (Zea mays var. Saccharata) is younger, we have known it since the 18th Century.
As a vegetable, young immature grains are used in dairy waxy maturity, ie soft, easy to drench with nail. Cucumber grains can also be used raw. Especially in America frozen or preserved grains are popular, in recent years they are also available in our country. Sweet corn can be grown in our conditions in warmer areas, in protected areas, in gardens. However, it has longer vegetation times than other types whose lengths are longer10 cm can also be used as vegetables.
Young corn grains have almost 20% carbohydrates, proteins, fats. It has somewhat higher energy value. Mineral substances have the most potassium, phosphorus and calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and manganese and slightly sodium.

Mix 2 cups of white yoghurt (sour cream), 1/2 cup soy mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a spoon of mustard al / 2 cups of sliced parsley. Mix everything and cool. Australians still add a spoon of fresh chopped mint or basil.
Cauliflower
Some botanists consider the cauliflower India, other Eastern Mediterranean. The first credible news about it dates back to the 12th Century from Cyprus, then in the 16th century. To us came from Italy and the name cauliflower is the garbage name cavolfiore.
Today, cauliflower (Brassica oleracea, var. Botrytis) is grown around the world. It belongs to a wide family of sturgeons. Cauliflower rosette is not a flower, they are tufted, tapering flower stalks. The actual flower is similar to a rape, they are a tiny black flower, which is blooming for the second year.

With 3 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of butter, prepare the juice, dilute2 dlmilk, cook and pull out of the fire. Mix a little milk, salt, pepper, parsley and 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Put the cauliflower over the sauce and bake golden brown.
Mangold
Mangold, also a cicada (Beta vulgaris, var. Cicla) is a close relative of salad beet sugar beet. But the edible part is the leaves, the bullet does not form. It is a plant originating from the eastern Mediterranean, known for antiquities and before.
It is a typical Dalmatian foliage, widespread in Western Europe and North America. Used as spinach, peppers like asparagus. It forms leaf types with narrow petioles and petioles with petioles i5 cmwide. Dappies are whitish or red, leaves dark or light green, or red. It is a plant that should not be missed in the garden, the leaves can be harvested for a long time. They can sneak from the roots. They are tasty, slightly sweetish, with a weak beet flavor. Here he supplies betaine, effective along with other anti-corrosion agents, activates the activity of the liver and prevents fatty degeneration.
Mangold is healthier than spinach. It is suitable for a reduction diet. Does not contain so much oxalic acid. There is a lot of potassium in it, calcium, but also sodium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc and other elements. They include vitamins – about 40 mg of vitamin C in100 g (such as oranges), provitamin A, niacin, B vitamins and bioflavonoids, folic acid, etc. It has a slightly invisible effect.

From the mango, we prepare soups, stuffing in salty stuff and cakes, pancakes, croquettes, very tasty are the leaves baked with potatoes and cheese, rolls and rolls with various stuffing, can be part of Indian and Chinese dishes,
Vegetable pepper
Paprika came to us from warm Central America. Colombia’s expedition from Haiti was brought to Europe – originally just burning types. Then it spread to the Balkans, to Hungary, to Spain. In other European countries, it was only in the 19th century. Gradually, the vegetable type (Capsicum annuum) with a stronger pulp and varied shape and color was developed. Immature are usually green, mature color changes from whitish through orange, black, red, red, dark purple.
Even in vegetable varieties are hotter types. The alkaline capsaicin acts as alkaline. Particularly unsalted peppers are a huge source of vitamin C (140 to 400 mg of vitamin C in100 g), mature in turn have more provitamin A, especially red. They also contain vitamins B1, B2, niacin, folic acid, vitamin E. Many types of dyes are present in the pulp, from which flavonoids strengthen the blood vessels. Mineral has many potassium but also phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, iodine, etc. It also contains phytoncides, inhibiting the development of bacteria. It supports appetite, activity of digestive juices, bile, thyroid gland. It is more digestible, especially peel. It is generally beneficial to health but less suitable for diseases of the stomach, intestine, gall bladder.
We use it as fresh as possible (or even frozen), cut shortly before the food with a knife for small pieces. It is suitable for salads, for filling, mixed with tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, for baking, skewers, etc.
After Italian we can cook pepperoni: In a saucepan, we crumble 4 chopped onions on 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then pour a little water and add about 600 gchopped mulberries, slices of 4 cloves of garlic, l / 2 teaspoons of rosemary, l / 2 teaspoons of sage, pinch of thyme, salt, pepper. Season for 10 minutes, then add about 8 tomatoes cut into squares. Stir for a further 10 minutes and slicing the chopped parsley. And to this, polenta or buckwheat.
Parsnip
We often buy a parsnip instead of parsley in the store. The use is similar. Pastinaca sativa, however, is a different type of root vegetable, although it is similar to the parsley root. His hair is not used.
Pastaink is an old cultural plant grown for at least 3000 years. It is sweeter than parsley, and in ancient times it was similar to potatoes. It has a higher energy value:100 gedible share = 100 gmilk. The mineral content is high – in100 gup to 1200 mg, of which half of potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Of the others there is a lot of magnesium, iron. It has little sodium. It is rich in aromatic oil. The parsley contains from root vegetables the most vitamin C – up to 32 mg in100 gof the root. Some of the kitchens are specifically used, eg Irish cooks beer, making jams – it has up to 15% carbohydrates.
It is also a medicinal herb recommended for rheumatism, flatulence, but also against neuroses. Due to its higher content of essential oil it should not be used in large quantities. But more frequent inclusion of a small amount is beneficial to health. It is suitable for the preparation of soups, for slurries combined with potatoes, for preparation of crumbs, as part of root vegetables under soybeans.
Less common are parsnips: Cook l / 2kg of cleaned parsnips with salt, 4 peppercorns, 4spice of new spice, bay leaf and a pinch of thyme. Then we will crush it with a fork, add a little soy flour, 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of grated cheese, l (4 teaspoons of Gourmet sauce, salt, a pinch of chilli), mix and pancakes wrapped in flour, fry with spinach and potatoes.
Chives right
In winter, we are missing fresh vegetables, so we are greeted with a gleaming chive, whose lush greenery and biologically valuable content adds to our dishes and refreshes the body.
In Europe, chives (Allium schoenoprasum) have been grown since the 16th century. It is also found in mountain ranges at streams and springs. Most valuable is the use of fresh chives, it can also be frozen in small portions of small cut. Drying is less convenient.
It is best to cut the chicken with a stainless steel knife just before the meal. It is in100 gabout 100 mg of vitamin C (3 times more than lemons). It also contains carotene, vitamins B1, B2, sulfur with sulfur, antibacterial substances, minerals – especially potassium, calcium, iron, sulfur etc. It affects positive digestion, somewhat reduces blood pressure, restricts intestinal parasites.
Its pleasant aroma of onion and garlic is suitable for flavoring soups, cooked rice or potatoes, spreads, sauces, dough for cheese, vegetables, cold kitchen.
Beijing cabbage
In our stores it is found under the wrong name of Chinese cabbage. It’s not a detail, but the Beijingese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis) forms heads, also called pe-tsai. Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis) has looser stiffer leaves and is called pak-soi. The market has therefore wrongly prescribed Chinese cabbage. But that’s why we will not lose the great vegetables of the Far East. Most of Beijingese cabbage actually grows around Beijing. From 19. century is known in Europe and only a few decades in our country. Find out more vegetables nutritional facts.
It’s a great vegetable – it can be harvested from 60 to 90 days of sowing. Beijing cabbage is low-energy vegetables. Lkg has 665 KJ.

Mineral contains very much potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sulfur, a small amount of sodium, etc. Contains anti-sclerotic and healing substances in the digestive tract.
In the kitchen, we best adjust the cross-sliced leaves to a delicate lettuce. It can also be cooked, choked, baked, made from soup, Chinese dishes, etc. We will prepare a less usual salad from400 g sliced cabbage, 4 spoons of soy sprouts, 6 radishes (or a piece of white Japanese radish) sliced, 50 graisins boiled with boiling water and then soaked in 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Mix everything and pour over a spoonful of lemon juice, a spoonful of oil, a spoonful of soy sauce, a clove of garlic (wiped) and a pinch of Chinese pineapple (if not, then we’ll give ginger).
