Over the weekend, the Themes in Cookie Jam feature a blend of food and assorted subjects. Solving “Let’s take a spin around the [blank] bush” led us to hints such as “Round vessels for cooking or keeping things,” and “Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque.” Then we encountered “Red, yellow, or green skin with golden interior,” implying that nothing is ever predictable. For now, let’s concentrate on this: “Vegetable resembling a small tree and green in color.” Here’s the solution.
Answer to “Small green tree-like vegetable” in Cookie Jam
That one was an easy guess for me, it’s one of my favorite vegetables by far. So, the answer is:
- Small green tree-like vegetable – broccoli.
Broccoli, resembling a small tree, is a green vegetable frequently referred to as a “vegetable that looks like a tree” in riddles and games such as Cookie Jam.
Broccoli boasts a sturdy, consumable stem and a cluster of tightly compacted green flowerets at its peak. In its uncooked state, it has a slightly bitter taste, but when prepared, particularly roasted or steamed, it transforms into something sweet and earthy. It’s incredibly nutritious, brimming with vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. You can snack on it raw in salads, steam it, roast it, stir-fry it, or incorporate it into soups and sauces by blending it.
If traditional broccoli doesn’t quite appeal to you, I highly recommend giving Tenderstem broccoli (or broccolini) a chance. It’s a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale, offering slimmer, more tender stems that are a pleasure to bite without feeling excessively tough or woody. Moreover, it boasts a sweeter and milder taste compared to regular broccoli, with subtle undertones of peppery flavor.
