For example, lemon or red wine vinegar will help get rid of the bitter taste.

Tale about vegetables (funny)
Grandfather planted a turnip. And I expected her to grow very, very big. It's time to. Grandfather began to dig turnips. He pulls and pulls... And then he hears that the vegetable is talking to him.
Grandpa, what kind of turnip am I to you, I’m a red carrot with green curly hair!
These are miracles, says the grandfather, but where did I plant the turnip? I do not remember. Get into my basket, you’ll need it for soup, but in the meantime, we’ll look for it together. He walks further through the garden. Pulls and pulls...
“Oh, be careful with me, I’m not a turnip, but a beet,” the burgundy lady answered busily.
“How come,” says the grandfather, “I got it mixed up again.” I'm an old fool. Well, come with me, you’ll need some borscht. He moves on.
“You’re probably a turnip,” the grandfather turned to another vegetable.
Who am I? No, what are you? I'm a potato.
Here's the thing, - muttered grandfather, - oh, old age is not a joy. He's blind and has problems with his memory. How can I find a turnip?
“Here I am,” exclaimed the turnip, “how long can I wait for all of you?” I'm sitting here, bored, alone.
“Finally,” the grandfather rejoiced. I wanted to pull it out, but a really big, big turnip was born. Probably we should call our grandmother, granddaughter and others. How did grandfather pull the turnip? Well, that's another story...
Vegetable dispute
These are vegetables. Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman. Grandfather watched TV in the evenings, and grandmother knitted socks for him. They became bored with living like this. We decided to get a vegetable garden. They spent days fiddling with it. They really liked that time flew by quickly and it was not boring at all. It's time to sow the seeds. The grandfather did not entrust such a serious matter to the grandmother. I went to the market myself and bought everything. I decided not to call grandma, but to sow the seeds myself. But he stumbled, and all the seeds scattered throughout the garden.
Grandfather came home gloomy. And he says: “Now how can you find out where the carrots are and where the beets are!” “Don’t worry, grandfather,” said the grandmother, “the time will come, we’ll figure it out ourselves.”
Autumn has come, it's time to harvest. An old man and an old woman were watching, and the vegetables were all so beautiful and ripe. But they argue with each other about which of them is better and more useful.
I am a tomato, I make a delicious tomato. I'm the best.
And I’m the most useful of all. I am an onion, I save everyone from illness.
But no. I'm also rich in vitamins. I am a sweet and very tasty pumpkin, and I am also very bright and beautiful.
You are not the only one who shines with beauty. I am a red carrot, I am a beautiful girl. Healthy and tasty, everyone really likes it.
The vegetables argued for a long time, until the grandfather and grandmother said: “You are all the main, important and useful. We will gather all of you, we will not leave anyone in the garden. Some will go into porridge, some into soup, and many of you will eat raw vegetables.” and very tasty. The vegetables were delighted, laughed and clapped."
A therapeutic tale about healthy vegetables. Part one
This story about vegetables is perfect for those children who have problems with food. Approximate age: from 3.5 years. Many children enjoy conversations about tasty and healthy food, as well as junk food. The main thing is that they are interesting. If you are telling a therapeutic story, you should not use your child's name for the main character.
So, a therapeutic tale about vegetables could be next. Katya, as usual, was visiting her grandmother during the summer holidays. She really liked this village. The bright and warm sun always lifted my spirits, and I could always swim to my heart's content in the clean river. Only Katya was very often capricious and did not obey her grandmother. She did not want to eat cooked vegetables and fruits. The girl refused to eat them and said: “I don’t want this, I won’t do this. I don’t eat this green one, but take away this red one.” And everything like that. Of course, this greatly upset the grandmother, because she tried so hard for her beloved granddaughter. But Katenka couldn’t help herself.
A therapeutic tale about healthy vegetables. Part two
One day the girl went outside and heard someone talking in the garden. She came closer to the beds and was very surprised. The vegetables were arguing among themselves.
“I am more important than everyone else in the world,” the potato spoke, “I am able to saturate the entire body and give strength for the whole day.” Thanks to my beneficial properties, every child will run, jump, gallop for a long time, and will not get tired at all.
It's not true, I'm the most important! - said the beautiful orange carrot. You have no idea how much beta-carotene is in me - a supervitamin. It is good for vision.
Hmm, Katya thought, grandma probably loves carrots very much, since she still knits and reads without glasses.
Meanwhile, the vegetables continued to argue:
Dear friend,” pumpkin joined the conversation, “don’t think that you’re the only one rich in beta-carotene. I have plenty of it too. I help people cope with autumn ailments. I also contain vitamin C.
“I also have this vitamin,” the red pepper answered playfully, “I have much more of it than citrus fruits.”
No, guys, of course, you are important, but I’m still the most important! - said broccoli. - You can eat me not only boiled, fried or stewed, but also raw. I contain the most useful vitamins. And the soup I make is excellent.
Friends, you are all right, of course, but without me the dishes don’t turn out as tasty. - said the bow in a deep voice, - and I can cure a person of various diseases.
And then the vegetables noticed that someone was watching them, and they immediately stopped their argument, as if they were not talking at all.
These are miracles! - Katenka said quietly. - And then the grandmother called her granddaughter to eat. Katya realized that she was very hungry and ran to wash her hands. When the girl saw that pumpkin porridge was waiting for her for breakfast, she was very happy. She wanted to try all the vegetables herself and choose which of them was more important and tastier. Katya decided that now she would enjoy eating her grandmother’s salads and porridge and would become beautiful and healthy.

Summer time is not only a beautiful time of year, but also the time to harvest berries, fruits and vegetables. In the summer, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, watermelons, potatoes, pumpkins, zucchini ripen at the dacha... This year we had a rainy summer. Excess moisture affected the growth of different vegetables differently. I would like to tell you about the unusual cucumbers that grew in our garden this summer.
The first cucumber was crooked, long, but very tasty.
A little later, in the garden, we picked another unusual cucumber and decided to measure it: its length turned out to be 43 cm.
But what struck us most was the third miracle cucumber: its length turned out to be 68 cm and its weight was 1 kg 420 g.
Having seen such miracle cucumbers, my grandmother and I wanted to find information on the Internet about giant vegetables grown in different parts of our planet. We learned that many farmers around the world are passionate about breeding and strive to enter the Guinness Book of Records with their largest, heaviest and longest vegetables and fruits. In a number of countries, fairs are held annually where farmers present their miracle vegetables.
It was very interesting to search for material on the Internet: what we just didn’t see! We were very amazed by the variety of giants among vegetables! Judge for yourself!
Giants among cucumbers.
1. The world's longest cucumber grew in the greenhouse of British woman Claire Pierce. Its length was 1.19 meters. The woman admitted that she did nothing to grow the record-breaking cucumber: “I just watered the plant.” Claire Pearce also revealed that the giant vegetable grew from expired seeds that she bought two years ago and simply forgot about them. The pensioner was going to apply for registration of the record, but the vegetable rotted before experts could measure it.
And these are the grandchildren of British woman Claire Pierce, Jamie and Hazel, holding the same cucumber, about 119 cm long.
2.
Israeli resident Yitzhak Izdanpana became interested in gardening after he retired. He managed to grow a cucumber 1.2 meters long. The cucumber grew on its own in three months without special means to stimulate growth.
3. Briton Philip Vowles has been growing vegetables for many years. His successful gardening projects include giant pumpkins, cabbages, cucumbers and zucchini. In the photo he is captured with a 7-kilogram cucumber, which was once included in the Guinness Book of Records. Vauls has been growing vegetables for 25 years, so he knows all about how to get a huge harvest.
4. The Atherton family (Britain) is also interested in vegetable growing. Joe Atherton (senior) in this photo is holding an 80cm cucumber and a 1.5kg potato.
Giants among watermelons.
1. As you know, the largest berry in the world is the watermelon, and it really confirms this title.
In 2006, the largest watermelon in the world was grown in the US state of Arkansas. Its “author” was farmer Lloyd Bright. After the watermelon was picked and weighed, it turned out that its weight was 122 kilograms. This giant watermelon, native to America, was included in the Guinness Book of Records. This watermelon was a Carolina Cross variety. This farmer’s entire family has been growing giant watermelons for 35 years.
2. Another giant was grown in Louisiana. The big guy was raised by farmers from the Sistrunk family. The berry was picked on August 26, 2008. The weight of the huge watermelon was 114.5 kilograms and its length was 96 centimeters. To reach this size, the fruit took 147 days to ripen. The huge watermelon was given to parishioners from a local church, who were surprised not only by the size, but also by the taste of the watermelon, which turned out to be very sweet.
3. Russia also distinguished itself - in 2009, a watermelon (Russian size variety) was born weighing 61.4 kilograms (despite the fact that the average watermelon weighs 4-15 kilograms). Its “author” was Igor Likhosenko from the Temryuk district (Krasnodar region, Russia), who has now been growing watermelons for more than 28 years. According to the farmer, despite its size, the largest watermelon in Russia did not have any special taste. It had about 8% sugar, while a regular watermelon has 12-13% sugar.
Did you know, that, in addition to huge watermelons, there are also dwarf watermelons?
In South America, small watermelons, only 3-4 centimeters long, called Pepquinos, are grown. They taste like fresh cucumber and are often used in expensive restaurants to prepare various salads, sorbet or as an appetizer. They were discovered and brought to Europe in 1987 by the Dutch company Koppert Cress, which then began producing their seeds for sale.
Pumpkins are giants.
1. If we talk about the largest pumpkin that has ever been grown in the world, then the Americans are the leader here. A US resident, Chris Stevens, managed to grow a fetus whose weight exceeded 820 kg!
This is the pumpkin that Chris Stevens (USA) grew in 2010; she weighed 821.23 kg, and her circumference at the center reached 4.73 meters.

Japanese farmer Koji Ueno grew this giant pumpkin weighing 485.1 kilograms! It has twice won first place in the nationwide "Japan's Biggest Pumpkin" competition.
The largest pumpkins are weighed using a forklift.
3. Joe Midway hugs a 392kg pumpkin at the Sydney Easter Market. It was raised by horticulturist Ken Ryan. The pumpkin won the competition for the largest fruit.
4. And below is the world champion and record holder of 2014, which weighs almost like a real carriage in which you can send Cinderella to the ball. We are talking about a mass of 950 kilos. The superfruit ripened on the farm of Benny Meyer, a 30-year-old Swiss. To transport the pumpkin to the exhibition and get the prize, I had to hire a truck with a crane. Abundant watering and daily care contributed to the ripening of the melon monster.
5. American farmer Harry Miller in 2013 became the overall winner of the annual world pumpkin weighing championship “Super Bowl of Weigh-Offs”. A farmer managed to grow a pumpkin weighing 900 kilograms in his garden! The top prize was $11,910.
6. A pumpkin weighing about 700 kilograms was grown by American Thad Starr on his plot in Oregon. He regularly brings giant pumpkins to various fairs and competitions. One of the latest specimens weighs approximately 800 kilograms.
Super-giants among zucchini.
1. Briton Joe Atherton won a competition for the largest zucchini at a gardening fair in Yorkshire. The weight of the winning fetus was approximately 44 kilograms.
2. Gardener Phillip Vowels with his son Andrew and a 51kg squash in Llangarry, South Wales.
3. A gentleman named Peter Glazebrook, living in the north of England in Newark, devoted his life to growing huge fruits of cultivated plants. Most recently, in September 2015, a 70-year-old Englishman won the championship in the “Heaviest Zucchini” competition. The vegetable grown by Glazebrook weighs 52.2 kg and has the potential to satisfy the appetite of any glutton, with the needs of a Gargantua, Robin Bobbin or Bad Boy.
4. The largest zucchini grew on Norfolk Island (Australia).
The giant weighs as much as an adult man - 65 kilograms, and only two people could lift it.
The vegetable, included in the Guinness Book of Records, weighs 3 kilograms more than its record-holder predecessor.
Miracle - carrots in the garden.
1. The heaviest carrot was grown by Alaskan farmer John Evans and weighed 8.61 kg.
The root crop was included in the Guinness Book of Records in 1998. John Evans holds several more world records: the largest cauliflower and the heaviest broccoli.
2.
Another record holder among carrots was a root crop grown by Briton Joe Artenon from Nottinghamshire. This giant carrot reached 5.81 meters in length and took 14 months to grow.
Giant cabbage.
1. This is ten-year-old Alaska resident Kevan Dinkel, who grew a head of cabbage weighing 41.9 kilograms.
2. American farmer Scott Robb managed to grow cabbage weighing almost 63 kilograms in 2012. He presented the giant vegetable at the fair, which takes place annually in Palmar. However, the fruit was never included in the Guinness Book of Records.
At the moment, the recognized giant among cabbage heads is the 58-kilogram vegetable grown in 2006 in Alaska.
3. Farmer Derek Neumann takes a giant cabbage to the flower and vegetable exhibition, which takes place annually in the UK, in the town of Harrowgate.
Proud exhibitors at the Harrowgate Farmers' Festival.
And this is Yorkshire Fair judges Adrian Reid and Dave Alcock hugging the winner of the giant vegetable show - a head of cabbage weighing 30 kilograms.
Miracle tomatoes.
1. In 2015, Joe Etherton won the English tomato competition in the Gigantomo category with a tomato monster weighing 1.7 kilograms.
2. A resident of Norway grew a giant tomato weighing more than 1.1 kg
Did you know?
Maximum tomatoes from one bush. Graham Tranter from Bridgnorth (Shropshire, UK) grew a tomato with a record number of fruits - 488 fruits were harvested in the autumn of 2010. Graham broke his own record, set in 2009, of 304 fruits from one plant.
But the Japanese entered the Guinness Book of Records by growing a tomato tree the height of a three-story house on a special frame.
An Israeli, Nissan Tamir, has also been growing garden crops for a long time and with pleasure. On his plot, everything takes on gigantic proportions, even the radishes, which have gained 21 kilograms of weight.
Miracle potatoes in the garden.
1. The weight of this tuber was 11.2 kilograms! At first the farmer couldn’t believe his eyes, because he didn’t even try to grow such a huge potato! Also, Khalil Tir from Lebanon (Saudi Arabia) said that when growing potatoes he did not use any fertilizers and did not pay special attention to his beds, the potatoes grew as usual. Farmer Khalil is very pleased that it was he who grew the largest potatoes in his garden. After entering the Guinness Book of Records, interest in his farm grew greatly, and potato sales increased several times.
2.
70-year-old Peter Glazebrook is a British gardener, the same one who in September 2015 (see above) won the championship in the “Heaviest Zucchini” competition (weight 52.2 kg) spends almost all his time on his hobby - vegetable gardening. Among his achievements are the heaviest potatoes, as well as the heaviest onions, and also a gigantic cauliflower, simply colossal in size. 27.5 kg - this is exactly how much the Glazebrook cauliflower pulled, and this head of cabbage is 1.8 meters in diameter. This vegetable is enough to feed a whole family for several weeks. Peter Glazebrook has set 10 records included in the Guinness Book of Records, including the last 3 records in the “Largest Vegetable” category. In 2010, at the vegetable fair in Shelton Mallet (Somerset, Britain), he presented a potato weighing 3.76 kg - the size of a newborn!
It is not without reason that Mr. Tony Glover from the English countryside considers himself the king of onions. His name is mentioned in the Guinness Book because Tony managed to grow the heaviest onion on Earth - weighing 8.5 kg.
In general, growing vegetables is the whole life of the elderly Briton Peter Glazebrook; in his garden he rests his soul and works with his hands, and this gives him vitality and tranquility.
Thanks everyone for your attention!

CABBAGE
The garden is empty
if not…
That's right, cabbage. This vegetable has been known to people since ancient times. Ancient people ate wild cabbage leaves. Cabbage began to be grown about 7 thousand years ago, in Spain. From there this culture spread to other countries. In Rus', cabbage began to be cultivated in the 11th century. This vegetable is one of the most popular among people. “Why have a garden if you don’t plant cabbage,” people say. Why do people value cabbage so much?
Because it's the most delicious
very tasty cabbage leaf.
(A. Krylov) Cabbage is not only tasty, but also healthy. The famous Greek mathematician Pythagoras wrote: “Cabbage is a vegetable that maintains vigor and a cheerful, calm mood.” Cabbage contains many vitamins, proteins, sugars and various mineral salts. Most of the nutrients are in the stalk.
On a hot day and on a cool day
Cabbage wants to be elegant.
She stands on a large leg
He holds all his clothes in an armful.
(G. Grinev)
The most common variety of cabbage is white cabbage. This is a biennial plant. In the northern regions, in the spring, when it is warm outside, seedlings are planted in the ground. In the first year of cabbage, a shortened stem grows, it is called a stump; wide leaves form around it - “a hundred clothes” - collected into a head of cabbage. A head of cabbage is not a cabbage fruit; it does not contain seeds. To get cabbage seeds, in the fall you pull out the cabbage stalk with the roots. In winter it is stored in a cool place, and in spring it is planted in the ground. Tall stems grow from the stalk, and clusters of yellow flowers appear on them. In autumn, the flowers produce fruits - pods with small round seeds.
MYSTERY
One-legged Panteley dressed warmly.
I pulled on a hundred clothes, but didn’t button a single one.
He was in a hurry to go to the fair, but his pocket was empty.
The kids all call Panteley...
(Cabbage) PROVERBS AND SAYINGS
Without cabbage, cabbage soup is not thick.
The hare is a coward, and he even hunts for cabbage.
Don't meddle with the cabbage until they let you in
CARROT
I love carrots! Here it is still in lumps of clay.
It lies elegant and juicy - full of vitamins!
I even taught the puppy to chew carrots to grow.
It is simply necessary for a snowman.
(V. Sabirov)
People began to grow carrots a long time ago - about 4 thousand years ago. This plant does not require special care - throw a seed into the ground and wait for the harvest. If the soil is not very fertile, this is not a problem - carrots grow well even on sandy soils. Carrots tolerate drought and slight cold equally easily. Carrots love sunbathing, so they are sown in an open, not shaded place.
Since the 14th century, carrots began to be grown in Rus'. The peasants came up with many proverbs and sayings related to carrots. “Lying on the floors, you won’t see the carrots!”, “Sow the carrots on time, it will be good.”
The most valuable part of the carrots that we eat is the root vegetable. It is formed in the first year of carrot life. The root crop is completely in the ground, only its upper part sticks out, and above it is a green tail of leaves similar to dill leaves.
Why are carrots so beneficial? Carrot roots contain a huge amount of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in our body. It is also called growth vitamin - it is very useful for children. Carrot seeds also bring benefits to humans. They are used to make a medicine used to treat heart disease. And in Rus', for a long time, pain in the liver and nasopharynx was relieved with carrot juice. 
Carrot roots come in different shapes: cone or cylinder. And their weight can reach half a kilogram! By the way, by the shape of a carrot you can determine where it grew. If the root crop is long and sharp, the conditions for its growth were not the best - dense and heavy soil, little water. If the carrot is short and thick, it means that it has been “corroded” on fertile soil, with abundant and frequent watering.
Carrots are not necessarily orange in color. There are varieties of carrots that are yellow, white, and even dark purple.
PUZZLES
From the hole I pull a red fox by the curvy withers.
But not a cunning cheat, but a crispy one...
(Carrot)
* * *
I grew for many days, becoming redder and sweeter.
I became crispy. And I have a green crest, guys,
So that everyone can pull and pull it out of the garden.
(Carrot)
ONION
The earth around is still black and not warmed by the sun,
But onions sprout in the garden - the cheerful harbinger of summer.
When, trembling from the dampness, he pulls the arrows up,
Then the garden bed will look like a green hedgehog.
(V. Sabirov)
The most common type of onion is onion. It is grown in almost all countries of the world.
Since ancient times, people have eaten wild onions. And about 6 thousand years ago in India and China they began to grow it as a garden plant. Among the Egyptians, onions were universally loved. The ancient Greeks revered the onion; they perceived the onion as a symbol of the structure of the Universe. At festivities in honor of the god Pan, the protector of forests and fields, his sculptural images were showered with onions. On festival days, the Greeks tried to bring the largest onion to the temple. The ancient Romans believed that onions energized a person and protected against disease.
In the 12th century, onions appeared in Rus'. On September 20, peasants celebrated bow day. They took the onions to the market to sell. Whoever collected a lot of onions and sold them quickly has a good income. Onion Day is a sad holiday for two reasons. The first is that it coincided with the end of Indian summer, with warm days left behind. Secondly, girls and women had to shed a lot of tears on this day while processing onions.
The bulb consists of several layers of inner leaves. This is where the plant stores nutrients. And there are a lot of them in onions - both vitamins and mineral salts.
