We all know vegetables are good for us, but it turns out they’re pretty entertaining, too. Here are some of the coolest veg-e-licious facts on this side of the vegetable patch.
1. They may be crunchy, but the humble carrot is actually made up of 85-90% water!
2. The expression “cool as a cucumber” comes from the cucumber’s amazing ability to cool down the body and add hydration. That’s fascinating AND weird all at the same time!
3. Celery seeds are super versatile and are often used as a spice in kitchens all over the world.
4. The plant part of carrots (the green bits we see above ground) can grow up to one metre high!
5. Cucumbers are one of the only veggies you can’t cook, and always eat raw.
6. Centuries ago, beetroot juice was used as natural hair dye. Probably still works today, tbh, but we’ll stick to the hairdresser, thank you very much!
7. Cucumbers don’t just taste great, they also double as homemade beauty products! These lean, green, beautifying machines can prevent the breakdown of elastin in the skin, which can help tighten skin, support cell wall renewal, and build collagen.
8. The world’s heaviest beetroot weighed in at a whopping 23.4 kg back in 2001. That’s a new global record!
9. Well, we hate to say it but that story your mum and dad told you about carrots helping you see better in the dark? Not so much fact, entirely fiction. But we’ll keep eating ‘em anyway.
10. Have a bad breath situation you need to be fixed in an instant? Eeeek! Well, cucumber has your back! Yep, it can fight bad breath with one simple slice. Just suck on the slice for 20-30 seconds and you’ll be ready to smooch up a storm.
11. Kale is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are mega important for heart health.
12. Cucumbers don’t just grow in the ground – they can be grown in water, too!
13. Celery is a biennial plant. What the heck is that you ask? It’s the name given to plants that end their life cycle within two years.
14. Believe it or not, during Roman times, beetroot was once thought to be an aphrodisiac! Yikes!
15. Cucumbers are filled with amazing vitamins and minerals including Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6, Vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc and even folic acid. Phew, that’s a lot!
16. The first documented carrots in ye olden days weren’t orange, they were white and purple!
17. Kale has more vitamin C than oranges. Just don’t let the oranges know…
18. Made a writing or drawing mistake you’re desperate to correct? The outer waxy coating of a cucumber can remove ink!
19. Carrots contain major sources of beta-carotene, which our bodies turn into vitamin A. Beta-carotene gives fruits and veggies their orange pigment.
20. Need a little instant shine of your shoes? Yep, believe it or not, a slice of cucumber can help. Just take a freshly cut piece of cucumber and rub it on your shoe. The natural chemicals add that shimmery shine and also happen to deter water!
21. Once upon a time, celery was considered a medicinal herb rather than a vegetable.
22. When harvested properly, the whole beetroot plant is actually entirely edible. Yep, that includes the leaves!
