Topic :- Prepare a chart of
plant product and animal
product earlier by you in
your meal everyday (till 1
week) and also write about
the sources of food with
colourful pictures
What is sources of food? Name
different types of sources of food?
– Plants are the sources of food ingredients like grains , cereals, vegetables
and fruits. Animals provide us milk , meat products and eggs. Cows , goats
and buffaloes are some animals which gives us milk. Milk and milk
products like butter , cream , cheese and curd are used all over the world.
Well, there are two sources of food – plants and animals. All of the food we
eat comes from either of these two. The processed food we eat in our daily
lives (like chips, cakes, pizzas, sandwiches etc) is a combination of various
ingredients that are sourced from either plants or animals. Let’s take a look
at both.

What is plant product?
– Much of the food we eat comes from plants, trees, crops, bushes, leaves and sometimes even roots . The most obvious
examples of the foods we source from plants are fruits and vegetables. All of the fruits and vegetables grow on plants.
– Another such example of food from plants are crops. These are rice, wheat, maize, millets, barley etc. which are the seeds
of the crop plants. After we grow them, they are harvested. The majority of processed food like flour, bread, biscuits etc we
consume is sourced from crop plants.
– Now those animals who only eat food obtained from plants are known as herbivores. Some examples are cows, zebras,
hippos, giraffes, buffalos etc. Then humans who only rely on foods from plants are vegetarians. Let us take at examples of
some foods we get from plants and their different parts
• Fruits: Apples, Oranges, Bananas, Mangoes
• Leaves: Spinach, Coriander, Kale, Lettuce
• Root: Potato, Carrots, Turnips
• Seeds: Rice, wheat, maize, nuts (peanuts, almonds)

– Not all of our food comes from plants. A good portion of the food we eat comes from animals, mostly
cattle. Cattle are farmed animals, which are specifically raised to be butchered for our food
requirements. There are a few animals that are hunted (killed in their natural habitat) like deer or
rabbits or even kangaroos (especially in Australia).
– Some examples of such meat and their sources are
1. Chicken (poultry)
2. Bacon/pork which comes from pigs
3. Mutton which is from lambs
4. Venison from deer
5. Beef from cows and buffalos
6. Chevon which is goat meat
– Another source of food is seafood. This is fishes and other sea creatures like
crabs, lobsters, oysters etc that we catch. They too are consumed by humans and
are an important source of food in coastal regions especially.
– Then we come to the dairy products . This is milk, curd, cream, cheese, butter,
eggs etc. These are also sources of food we get from animals. All of these are
made from milk and/or eggs which comes from animals such as cows, buffalos,
goats etc. Honey is also another food we get from animals, namely bees.
– The animals which eat other animals are carnivores like lions, tigers, leopards etc.
And an animal that eats both animals and plants are omnivores like dogs and cats.
People who consume meat or fish are generalized as non-vegetarians.
