Vegetable
Kingdom
The king
asked his minister which is the best vegetable for my people so that we can
cultivate the vegetable in my entire kingdom?
Good
evening TMOD and fellow toastmasters and guests
The
minister was perplexed at the king’s question. The Minister replied, my lord,
in order to find the best vegetable on the earth, I am forming a team of
scientists who will research each vegetable and submit a report on it within 10
days.
Soon
this news spread like wildfire across the kingdom causing sleepless nights
among the people especially foodies. While some people loved the idea of eating
their favorite vegetable 365 days a year, some felt disgusted. Some people have
drawn the pictures of their favorite vegetable in their house walls to
remember. All the people were worried about the king’s action.
10 days
passed and the d-day came. The king, all his ministers and all village
heads assembled to hear the report. The king said let’s hear the report.
The
Minister in charge of Food welcomed the gathering and said,
Welcome to
the best vegetable research reports session. The purpose of this session is to
find out the best vegetable and to cultivate that in our entire country.
The
first one in the list is the vegetable which has the power to shake the
government. Let us welcome the vegetable Onion
Onion: I am the king of all and a leafy vegetable.
Without me cooking is not at all possible in this world. You take vegetarian
food or non-vegetarian food, without me nothing can be considered as a tasty
food. I am very magnanimous to the people who are peeling my own skin by
washing their eyes in the form of tears. My usage is not limited within the
kitchen room. I can be used as the substitute for glycerin for actors. I am
also into different avatars, the most influential avatar is my cousin sister
sambhar onion, the gem of my kind. Without her the saravanabhavan sambhar won’t
be tasty. Think of a food without onion, definitely it will be a bane for
cooking. I am also helping in reducing blood pressure and blood cholesterol
levels which leads to a good cardiovascular system
.The
second one in the list is the native of this land. Let us welcome the vegetable
drumstick
Drumstick: I am the native of this land wearing lush green striped
coat. I am honored that my color is in the national flag. I am a favorite
vegetable for every south Indian and also a favorite of actor bhagyaraj. Pregnant women should often eat me as i help ease any kind of pre
and post-delivery complication. My soup helps ease any kind of chest
congestions, coughs and sore throats.
The third
in the list is the king of mountains. Let us welcome the vegetable potato.
Potato: People fondly call me as Aloo. I am very close to the humans, that
they assign my name as nick name to their Rolly-Polly friends. I am not stingy
as others; My generosity is increasing body weight. I am responsible for the
crisp and tasty chips available in all around the globe. In KFC and MCD I am
available as French fries. Since I am rich in carbohydrates, so it is easy to
digest and facilitate digestion. This makes me a good diet for patients, babies
and those who difficult to digest but require energy. Also I am used to relieve
from both the external and internal inflammation.
The next
is the coolest one in the kingdom. Let us welcome the Cucumber
Cucumber: People always refer me in their speeches
especially in Toastmasters as “cool as cucumber”. I am very close to
ladies because I cool their eyes and I am also used in cosmetic creams. I am
the one who reduces the heat in the body during summer season. Also my elders
are serving humans in the form of juices. I am one of the very low calorie
vegetables providing just 15 calories per 100 g and contain no saturated fats
or cholesterol. My peel is a good source of dietary fiber that helps reduce
constipation.
The
next is an aromatic herb. Let us welcome the
Coriander Leaves: I
am the queen of aroma and the tender child of mother greenery. If you use me in
any food, the aroma of the food will fill the entire house. I am having Eleven
components of essential oil ,six types of acids ,vitamins and minerals each
having number of beneficial properties. I am in Iron which helps directly
curing Anemia.
And many
more vegetables followed……….
After
hearing all the vegetables report, the king got confused and he sought the help
of his ministers to choose the best vegetable. Like birbal in the akbar empire,
vedal in the vikramaditya story, chanakya in Chandragupta mourya empire, the minister
wants to teach the king about the importance of all the vegetables. The
Minister for Food said, my lord imagine an Aloo gravy without onion, chilly, coriander;
definitely it won’t be tasty. Every vegetable has its own advantages and
disadvantages, but the nutrition value and taste it adds to the food matters.
Also the important health benefits which it has matters the most my lord. So
all the vegetables are equally important. The king also understood the point
and appreciated the minister.
Hence
please don’t neglect any vegetable; every vegetable has its own value.
