In Nutritional Cooking, students learn cooking skills, kitchen safety and the role of fruits and vegetables in a healthy diet. Student learning includes the importance of seasonal eating and agriculture, the health values of incorporating protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and fiber in meals and the “rainbow” concept of diversity in eating. Food is powerful. Teaching students the basics of a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates ensures healthy development.
