This K-6 interdisciplinary nutrition curriculum focuses on vegetables and fruits. The lessons use core subjects to promote consumption of fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables and fruits; vegetable and fruit juices; and dried fruits. The lessons also investigate the Food Guide Pyramid. Each lesson plan has a section entitled Extensions. The Extensions are springboards to enhance the lessons.

An appendix offers vegetable and fruit sorting cards, a resource list, and an index for K-6 curriculum.
