Kids really had fun with the tasting and tried foods they had not tried before.

Teacher, Afterschool ProgramPennsylvania

The recipes are simple and easy to follow and tasty. I like the language of "I might like this later".

Teacher, Pre-K - 1st gradeNew Mexico

The most beneficial part of the materials are the emphasis on healthy eating and the fact that we can tie educational standards into lessons.

SNAP Educator, County ExtensionMichigan

The tasting lesson plans were well thought out and applicable to my classroom.
