Did you know North Carolina grows over 1 million pounds of tomatoes every year? 📷
Check out our creative Head Start Health Specialists and staff getting kids excited about tomatoes! Children read a story about tomatoes and then make and taste their tomato black bean salsa!

And that's a wrap! This year the FEEd Lab worked with 5 Head Start centers (about 500 children) to exposure children to fresh vegetables through hands-on science learning. More to come on our stories soon!
Thank you to all the wonderful Head Start teachers, administrators, and children who worked with us this year to improve children experiences with science and healthy foods in the classroom! We loved every second spent getting to know you. Can't wait for next year!
The PEAS team visited our Farmville classroom yesterday! Kids had fun exploring their spinach plants! What do you think plants need to grow? #MorePEASPlease #NIGMS #NIHSEPA
