Hi kids, moms and dads! Every month we're going
to highlight a new fruit or vegetable that may
be familiar to you or brand new! We want to introduce
you to all kinds of fresh produce and get you
excited about different ways to eat them together.
We want to encourage the whole family to get involved
in these fun and healthy food activities. Enjoy!
