Food of the Week...

Celery/Herewi

Week 2's food of the week was Celery/Herewi. We found out Celery is a delicious and interesting vegetable! Check out some of the things we learnt below!

• Did you know you can eat every part of the celery- stalks, leaves and seeds.
• Celery is made up of 95% of water.
• It takes around 110-130 days to grow.
• Celery needs lots and lots of water!
• We did a science experiment where we put the celery stalks into glass of water with food colouring. Over the course of the week we watched the stalks and leaves change to the colour of the water! It was amazing!!!
• We stuffed celery with cream cheese, chives and lemons juice! We also tried it with some crunchy peanut butter. Yum yum!
• Celery is a natural toothbrush. Because you have to chew it so much when you eat it.

Next week's food of the week is.... EGGS!!
