Taste Tests

Health and learning success go hand-in-hand. Studies show a relationship between good nutrition and improved academic and behavioral performance. To encourage students to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables, students at OUSD FoodCorps/HOTM sites will receive a taste test during each of the following months: November; January; February; March; May. Through the experience of the taste tests and the related nutrition education and activities that accompany them, students will become more aware of the benefits of making healthy food choices.

This year, we will feature the following California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables:
