Do tomatoes, lettuce, corn, beans,onions, peas, etc. not grow in Honduras?

Honduras is a country located in the tropics so EVERY fruit and vegetable grows here. Most cultures especially poor ones have certain staple foods that make up most of the diet. In Honduras beans and corn are just that. Corn is very versitile though. People here eat it in tortillas, mix it with rice, make bread, corn on the cob, etc... \n   Most poor families in the rural areas do have chickens and other small farm animals but keep in mind these places are very isolated and poor. Most of them live on $1 a day so eating meat is a luxury and is rare. It is usually saved for special occasions such as christmas, birthdays, celebrations, among others.

Go to a Honduran Consulate/Embassy...\nhttp://www.marrder.com/hw/travel/consulates.htm\nor call.. or write...\n\nyou can visit the Washington D.C. Embassy Website\nwww.hondurasemb.org/\n\nGood Luck

Is growing fairly easy and is no sensitive with the elements. I believe there is used also the beans and peas also (not quite sure).\nDfriend:)

As far as I know potatoes grew wild in Peru South America. But looking into some research the range of potato that could have been found in the wild is extensive. See my second reference.\n\nThe first cultivated potato was grown in what is now Peru, researchers say, and it originated only once, not several times, as some experts propose. \n\nThe genetic study shows the first potato known to have been farmed is genetically closest to a species now found only in southern Peru, the US and UK researchers write online, ahead of print, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\n"This result shows the potato originated one time and from a species that was distributed in southern Peru," says Professor David Spooner, a US Department of Agriculture researcher at the University of Wisconsin, who led the study.\n\nThe findings challenge theories that potatoes were first cultivated in Bolivia or Argentina, or that farmers bred them several different times in several different places.\n\n"The origin of crop plants has long fascinated botanists, archaeologists, and sociologists with the following fundamental questions: when, where, how, why, and how many times did crop domestication occur? What are the wild progenitors of these crops?" the researchers write.\n\nThe study did not address when the first potato would have been cultivated, but other research suggests it would have been between 7000 and 10,000 years ago.\n\nA single species\n\nPotatoes are a major food staple around the world and mostly belong to a single species Solanum tuberosum.\n\nBaking potatoes, red potatoes, golden potatoes and other favourites all originated in southern Chile, neighbouring Peru, Spooner says.\n\nThe Chilean potato that gave rise to modern potatoes is probably a hybrid of the ancestral Peruvian potato and a wild species found in Bolivia and Argentina, Spooner says. \n\nBut in South America, many other cultivated potatoes are eaten.\n\n"There are many different colours: solid and mottled and dotted from white to tan to purple to red," Spooner says. \n\nFossil potatoes dating back 7000 years have been found. \n\nLooking to genetics\n\nFor their study, Spooner and colleagues did genetic comparisons of 261 wild relatives of potatoes and 98 so-called landrace types, which are primitive cultivated crops grown by indigenous peoples.\n\nThe researchers believe their findings show a single species, S. bukasovii, gave rise to the first known cultivated potato.\n\nBut it would not have closely resembled the big, pale fleshy tubers that people crave today, Spooner says.\n\n"The wild species, many of them have tubers, the potato part you eat, that is tiny, sometimes the size of a pea," he says.\n\n"Oftentimes they are mildly poisonous."\n\nFrom this second source below, there is a suggestion that potatoes could have grown from a wild state in the American Southwest which would mean proabably the New Mexico and Arizona area.\n\nCultivated potatoes all belong to one botanical species, Solanum tuberosum, but it includes thousands of varieties that vary by size, shape, color, and other sensory characteristics. The potato originated in the South American Andes, but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile across the Pampa and Chaco regions of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil and northward into Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. There are more than 200 wild potato species in this wide habitat that extends from high cold mountains and plateaus into warmer valleys and subtropical forests and drier semiarid intermontane basins and coastal valleys.\n\nThe greatest diversity in wild potato species occurs in the Lake Titicaca region of Peru and Bolivia, where the potato probably was domesticated between 10,000 and 7,000 years ago. Solanum tuberosum most likely was domesticated from the wild diploi

Guatemala. Kids work there. I know because I'm from there. The make fireworks and sometimes they get badly injured for poor gunpowder handling. Also Mexico, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and many African countires have child labor

Technically one is not listed as the official state fruit. However, tomatoes  grow plentiful and it is technically a fruit but still no official fruit has been listed.

if you eat you are part of agriculture without it you don't develop

Do a hydroponic experiment.  it shows how the prospect of food shortages can be addressed.

Egypt I think.  Apparently early Eqyptians were very partial to onions.  HOwever, they were also grown in China  and India.  They like to grow where the hours of daylight are relatively long, so as you move further away from the equator they were more likely to be grown.  Onions often grow wild.  \n\nI hope this is of some help, but it is a bit difficlt to find info specifically on red onions.

I am assuming you are not taking them to a specific program.  Blooming Hills Organics in NY does have programs.\n\nWhat you will see are the different parts of plants.\nPotatoes, carrots and beets are roots.  Lettuce, cabbage, kale, arugula are leaves.  Tomatoes are fruit (really, not veg).\n\nI don't know where you are in the world - but if you take children to a place like Bread&Circus/Whole Foods Markets - they put signs near the veggies to indicate where they were grown and if they were organically or conventionally grown.\n\nIf you go to a specialty market, you'll see wild foods, burdock root, purslane, dandelion.  Blooming Grove organics harvests those as well as the other veggies.  Links below will give you info on wild food cookbooks and recipes if you want to experiment.\n\nAlso - check out which foods are in season and which are imported.  \n\nI can think of a million things to do in the veggie market.  There's the scale in pounds and metric, there's the different sizes and shapes of tomatoes, lettuces, mushrooms.

There are quite a few... Most of them European, Asian, and South American, and almost all of them are weeds.\n\nDandelions are introduced, but that's just one of hundreds.

They are known "castanhas do Pará" because they used to be exported only through ports in the state of Pará. They are a native product from the entire Amazon Region (other countries than Brazil included).

Hello Claudia, the word Paistle doesn't exist in Spanish, by the description you make the closest plant that I can think of is hay, and in Spanish is "Heno" (or "Musgo") Take care★

that's normal. some of them may not have been properly chewed. i know of stories of really poor farmers who pick whole corns from their poop to cook them up again. saves them money through that way.

gmo's are plants (or animals none of those yet) that have had genetic material added to them. so what we have now is BT corn, BT soybeans, and the roundup ready series of crops.\nBT is named from bacillus family of bacteria which produce a natural insecticide so you dont have to spray for insects cutting down the need for poisons in the ground and air. and the roundup ready series is round up resistant so it is resistant to herbicides. so you can plant it and spray once for weeds and then you dont have to worry about it as round up is persistant in the soil. so there is less herbicide in the air and ground.\ncurrently the FDA has not released them into the human food supply however they are being used to feed animals. so technically you are eating them but it is technically biologically filter and i am not sure how wide spread the use is.\nthere is also a rice variety called golden rice. if your diet consists mainly of rice as in most asian countries you do not get enough vitamin E which can lead to blidness. so they added a gene to produce vitamin E it is not widely adopted. and zaire turned away a ship full of corn from the US because it contained GMO corn. so its still a vary hot issue and deserves some attention still.

maybe beans are kidney shaped.
