Food of the Week...

Capsicum/Rapikama

Week 4's food of the week was Capsicum/Rapikama. We really enjoyed trying the this delicious vegetable and learning a few things about it.

• Capsicum comes in many different colours. The main colours are red,yellow,orange and green
• The green capsicum is the most bitter tasting, and the red is the sweetest
• Capsicum doesn't need to be pollinated by a bee to grow
• If you look at the bottom of the capsicum and it has 3 bumps it is a boy, and if it has 4 bumps it is a girl.
• Capsicum is part of the chilies family
• Capsicum can be used in many different dishes such as on pizza, in salads, by itself.
• We found out that Capsicum floats
• We tried some sliced capsicum and made our own little pizzas. It was delicious!

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