Try Quinoa With Us This Month

The next Try Day experience will involve quinoa, an ancient grain that has grown in popularity in recent years.

Try Day events are multi-sensory experiences designed to expose children to new foods. Classes receive the food in raw form, talk about how it is grown and can feel, smell and see it before they taste it.

Foods that are well-received can be added to Head Start’s regular menu. Lobby tastings for parents and families will occur at Hopkins Locke on Jan. 23 and at Griswold on Jan. 26. On Jan. 26, students will be served Quinoa Mango Salad with their lunches.
