Put Me in My Place!

Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

A lot of people think the tomato is a vegetable, but it’s really a fruit. An especially “fruity” type of tomato is the grape tomato. Try these little sweeties with dip, in salads, or straight out of the carton!

STUCK

We’re stuck on added sugar, and it sticks us with all kinds of health problems, like obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, heart disease, and much more. Added sugar is everywhere – in our soda cups, ketchup bottles, cereal boxes, and on our ice cream sticks, too. Know what you’re getting into: check your food and drinks for added sugar!

Eat better. Play harder. Live healthier. Learn easier. Wellness is a way of life!

What do these six different foods have in common?

Pears · Popcorn · Nuts · Beans · Whole Grains · Broccoli

These foods might seem very different, but they’re all good sources of a substance that’s important for a healthy diet. To discover the answer, find and color all of the letters in each word on the list, and then unscramble the leftover letters to learn the name of the magical substance they all share!

Vegetable of the Month – Lentils

Lentils (shown here with sprouts) are nutritional super stars! These beans provide protein, fiber, iron, and loads of minerals and vitamins. Just for 230 calories per cup (cooked) and very little fat!

STRANGE BUT TRUE!

The lowest and the highest places in the continental United States are both in California and are less than 100 miles apart! The desert floor at Badwater, CA in Death Valley National Park sits at 279 feet below sea level. Just 84.6 miles away, Mount Whitney rises 14,505 feet above sea level!
