January brings a bounty of crisp winter veggies and bright, sunshiney citrus. These in-season picks are at their peak flavor, nutrition, and affordability.

Introducing kids to what’s fresh each month helps them build a deeper connection to fruits and vegetables

Our daikon radish coins are on the FFVP menu this month because they're crunchy and crisp texture and their mild flavor is a fun way to remind students that veggies come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors.

Trying new foods is important. Each new tasting helps build food confidence, expand vocabularies around flavor and texture, and chip away at hesitancy that often keeps young eaters from choosing fresh produce at home or in the cafeteria. So, when students explore veggies like daikon radishes on a consistent basis, they're learning to be curious open-minded eaters for life.

Our fall cohort of SnackTime Explorer teachers continue to be impressed with the impact of the program on their students! They've reported that the large majority of their students are willing to try new fruits and vegetables due to the supportive classroom community this program has helped built! They've also noted improvement in the vocabulary terms used to describe the produce.

One teacher remarked: "Not one of my students ever heard of a parsnip before the program. Something else that I have learned from the lessons and say all the time is "don't yuck my yum when someone says something negative about the snack."

Winter is citrus season, meaning our production floor is bursting with the tangy sweet aroma of oranges! 🍊☀️

Citrus trees thrive in regions with mild winters and plenty of sunshine, and because they require slightly cooler temperatures for their flavor to fully develop, the winter months are the ideal time to buy! The mild-climate growing regions of California's Central Valley and Florida are bursting with Vitamin C immune-boosting fruits!

Carrots weren't originally orange!

Before the 1600s, carrots came out of the ground purple, yellow, red, white, and even black! Then, in the 16th and 17th centuries, Dutch farmers began selectively breeding yellow carrots to produce a bright orange variety! 🥕

There are 2 working theories as to why, the first being a subtle tribute to William of Orange, the leader of the Dutch revolt against Spain, part of the family known as the House of Orange-Nassau. 👑

Then there is the fact that orange carrots were sweeter, less bitter, and more uniform in shape than the other varieties, making them easier to profit off of! 🤔
