Over 1200 high school students have been given the opportunity monthly to taste a fruit or vegetable they are not familiar with. This program has not only increased the knowledge of the students in selecting new fresh fruits and vegetables, but staff at the school have also indicated they have increased their knowledge in selecting these fresh produce. The principal reports this is one of the best programs that have been offered to their students and that the students look forward to this program each month.

  Not only do the students get to sample a new fresh produce each month, but they also receive educational material supplied to the teachers by the Extension Service, to share with the students before sampling the product.
