Produce Department Tours Call your local grocer today!
Supermarkets across the country offer 5 A Day tours for schools in their community. These tours educate children about fruits and vegetables in a fun and memorable way and encourage them to strive for 5 by exploring (and tasting!) the tremendous variety of fruits and vegetables available to Americans.
In addition to learning the importance of eating 5 servings of a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables every day, your students will learn such things as:
-What counts as one serving of fruits and vegetables
-How to add up the number of servings of fruits and vegetables they eat
daily
-How to read and understand the nutrition posters and charts in supermarkets
-How to select 100% fruit juice, canned fruit without added sugar, and frozen
vegetables without added fat
-The importance of sharing the 5 A Day message with their parents
Contact your local supermarket produce manger or store manager to arrange a tour or check for tour availability.
