4. CEREALS
Cereal is a grass (members of the monocot family Poaceae,
(also known as true grasses) cultivated for the edible
components of their grain (botanically, a type of fruit
called a caryopsis), composed of the endosperm, germ, and
bran.
5. VEGETABLES & MELONS
In culinary terms, a vegetable is an edible plant or its
part, intended for cooking or eating raw. In biological
terms, "vegetable" designates members of the plant
kingdom. This list of melons includes members of
the plant family Cucurbitaceous with edible, fleshy
fruit (e.g. gourds or cucurbits). The word "melon" can
refer to either the plant or specifically to the fruit.
Many different cultivars have been produced,
particularly of muskmelons. Although the melon is a
botanical fruit (specifically, a berry), some varieties
may be considered culinary vegetables rather than
fruits.

7. ROOTS & TUBER
Tubers are various types of modified plant structures
that are enlarged to store nutrients. They are used by
plants to survive the winter or dry months, to provide
energy and nutrients for re-growth during the next
growing season. In vascular plants(higher plants), the
root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below
the surface of the soil. However, this is not always
the case, a root can also be aerial (growing above the
ground) or aerating (growing up above the ground or
especially above water).
9. FRUIT
The sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other
plant that contains seed and can be eaten as
food.
10. OIL
Such oils have been part of human culture for
millennia. Edible vegetable oils are used in
food, both in cooking and as supplements.
Many oils, edible and otherwise, are burned as
fuel, such as in oil lamps and as a substitute
for petroleum-based fuels. Some of the many
other uses include wood finishing, oil painting,
and skin care.

12. PULSES
A pulse sometimes called a "grain legume", is an
annual leguminous crop yielding from one to
twelve seeds of variable size, shape, and color
within a pod. Pulses are used for food for
humans and other animals. Included in the
pulses are: dry beans like pinto beans, kidney
beans and navy beans
