I have a long stem. I have yellow petals. People eat my seeds.
I have thorns on my stem. My petals can be many colors. I smell very pretty.
I have flat leaves. I drop acorns. I am very tall.
I am green. People step on me. I get cut.
There is a green house. Inside the green house there is a White house. Inside the White house there is a red house. Inside the red house there are lots of babies. What am I?
You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
ALOE Aloe! How are you? … CORN I know it’s corny, but you are a-maize-ing

D. I help develop neuron-transmitters for brain function. I have two halves with wrinkles and folds like the neo-cortex.
E. I help kidney function.
F. I target bone strength by replenishing the skeletal needs of the body. Bones are 23% sodium and I have 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak.
G. I look like the pancreas and balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
H. I look like the body’s cells and help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. I produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
