    The instruments are constructed with carrots, celery, peppers, squash, zucchini and other raw vegetables prior to the performances. Their sound is amplified with the use of special microphones

    Following the performances, the leftover vegetables and off-cuts are cooked into a soup for the audience.

    As of March 2019, more than 150 types of instruments had been invented since the band’s inception and include carrot xylophones, radish bass flute, pumpkin drums, leek violins, onion maracas, and many others.
