Is your music tasting stale? Meet the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, which serves tasty tunes prepared using vegetables as instruments. Here, pumpkins are the bass drums, carrots are xylophones, and onion skins are rubbed together to make maraca-like rattling sounds.

If you don’t believe this can work during love performances, just watch the video above.

Founded in 1998, the orchestra proves that music is good for health, one performance at a time. And how can the audience leave with empty stomachs when the instruments are vegetables? Listeners are offered fresh vegetable soup after each performance.

The video below gives you the recipes for making these instruments.
