Tips for little cooks

  • Ages 3–4: play the quiz, then find two of the vegetables in your kitchen and name them together.
  • Ages 5–6: sort them by colour (red tomato, orange carrot, purple brinjal, green peas) or by where they grow: under the ground or above it.
  • Ages 7–8: talk about which part of the plant we eat: roots (carrot, radish), leaves (cabbage), seeds (peas, corn), flower buds (cauliflower, broccoli).
  • Wrong answers are fine. The quiz waits for the right one, and only first tries count towards the stars.

Questions from parents

What age is this vegetable quiz for?

Children aged about 3 to 8. Younger children enjoy the pictures with a grown-up; older children can read the names and play alone.

Why are some vegetables called by two names?

Many vegetables have different names around the world. Brinjal is also called eggplant or aubergine, capsicum is called bell pepper, and okra is called bhindi or ladyfinger.

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

Scientists call a tomato a fruit, because it has seeds inside, but in the kitchen we cook and eat it like a vegetable. Cucumbers, pumpkins and brinjals are the same!

Is it free, and do we need an account?

Yes, it is free and there is nothing to sign up for. It works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers.
