Apples are a type of
fruit that grow on trees.
There are lots of
different kinds of apples,
Granny Smith apples are green,
there are lots of red
apples like Pink Lady
and Red Delicious.
Once the fruit is ripe and ready to eat
the apples are picked by
hand and placed into bags.
Then the apples are sorted
and placed into bins.
Those bins are then
sent to grocery stores,
farmers markets,
and fruit stands,
where people can buy them
for healthy, anytime snack,
or a delicious sometimes
food like apple pie.
I hope this helps, good luck.

- [All] Super Grover.
- Did somebody say they have a problem?
- We do, a big problem.
- Oh good, I mean, have no
fear, I shall save the day.
How can I help?
- Well we're trying to
figure out when we can spend
a little quality family time together.
- Yeah.
- But we've got so much going on,
we never have time to see each other.
- Then I have just the
thing you need, voila.
- [All] Pictures.
- Not just pictures, 8 x 10 glossies
of the whole family.
Now you can see each
other whenever you like.
- Um, but that's not what we meant.
- Yeah we don't want to
see each other in pictures,
we want to see each other in real life.
- Yeah.
- Oh, well then I have another
super solution for you.
Haza.
- Binoculars?
- Yes.
Now you can see each other in real life
even at great distances.
Oh, I can see your pores.
- Okay I don't think binoculars
are the answer to our problem either.
Oh man, how are we ever gonna solve this?
(upbeat music)
- Oh no, not again.
♪ Give a cheer, shout, hooray ♪
♪ Superfoods will, save the day ♪
(cheering)
- Um, are they with you Super Grover?
- Definitely not.
These are the superfoods, but they are not
going to save the day
because there is no way
food can help a family that
has no time to see each other.
- Actually there is a way
food can help, hit it.
- Not another song.

Carrots start with C.

- No, no, not carrots, me
thinking of different ingredient
that begin with letter C.
- Cauliflower, cauliflower begins with C.
- Yes, maybe it needs more cauliflower.
- No, no, not cauliflower.
- It's me, cabbage.
- How about corn,
everyone's cuckoo for corn.
- Well yeah corn and cabbage
do begin with letter C,
but sorry not that.
- Right an ingredient that begins with C,
but it isn't carrots, or cauliflower,
or wait a minute, I know.
You think the soup needs cookies.
- Yes, soup need cookies.
- But Cookie Monster,
that would taste awful.
Cookies don't belong in soup.
- Yeah you're right,
cookies no belong in soup.
Cookies belong in me tummy.

Nice cookies, me compliments to chef.
- C is for cooking.
- And cookies.
