A Research Study On Nutrition - 1828 Words

Abstract: The stem, root, leaves, and reproductive parts of plants are all consumed by humans on a daily basis and all of the nutritional values for each part of a plant vary. The experiments we conducted were to establish which parts of the plant contain the most starch, glucose and vitamin c values. We tested different plants such as parsnip, bamboo, celery, apple, raspberry, carrot and oregano. Introduction/Background: Plants are so important to us nutritionally because each part of a plant provides us with a different nutrition. While some plants have higher glucose content others have higher starch content. Also, specific parts of plants have made a major contribution to human well-being by providing us with large amounts of vitamin a, vitamin c and the folic acid vitamin (An overview of the nutritional importance of vegetables.). If we didn’t consume the roots, stems, leaves, or the reproductive parts (fruits) of plants we wouldn’t get the essential nutrients that we need to live. We focused mainly on finding out which parts of the plant contained the most glucose, starch, and vitamin c, but all the nutrients that have been provided to us by plants are all equally important. All vitamins are organic molecules that are needed in the diet but only in minuscule amounts. (Shorter) According to an article done by the Tantre Farm, an organization that organically grows and distributes all types of plants, roots seem to be the most rich in vitamin c overall.
