Your task
Sort each food: did it first grow in the Americas, or did it travel there from elsewhere?
- Simply put, plants such as maize, chilli peppers, pineapples, peanuts and cocoa travelled from the Americas to the rest of the world, while plants such as wheat, oranges and coffee travelled the other way. Today all of them are grown far from where they started.
- Invented stories to learn from, not medical or diet advice. Every body and every family eats differently. For health or allergy questions, talk to a trusted adult or a health professional.
- Nothing about you or what you eat is collected.
Score
- Plant & food knowledge — You understood how this part of the plant world works.
- Caring for the planet — You chose what is kind to the garden and the planet.
- Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.
In real life
Chillies from the Americas are now part of cooking in India, Thailand, Korea and many other countries, and Brazil, a country in the Americas, now grows more coffee than any other country, although coffee first grew in Ethiopia.
Around the World
Invented stories to learn from, not medical or dietary advice. Every body is different. Never eat wild plants, berries or mushrooms without a trusted adult. Allergies are a matter for adults and doctors: if you feel unwell after eating, tell an adult straight away. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
