TastEd

Tomatoes are at their seasonal best - it's the perfect time to introduce them. Especially if you can get your hands on a sweeter variety or pick them off the plant. Then explore the fruit with your senses!
Familiarity helps to build taste even if they don’t want to try today. 🍅

#sensoryfooded

Huge thanks to all of our ambassador schools for their pioneering work in bringing TastEd to life - we couldn't do it without you. And thanks to the folks at Natoora who kindly donated a box of seasonal delights for children to explore with all of their senses! #foodeducation #primaryschool

🥗A Grand Salad 🥗
The Tudors believed salad was something very special - a celebration of fresh produce; elaborate and intricate! At Millfields Community School, the Year 4s gave making their own Grand Salad a go.

What would you put in your Grand Salad?

Real food is key to fixing our food system!🥕 At TastEd, we focus on engaging children with fresh produce. Yet, 2/3 of their energy comes from ultra-processed foods. Support @thesoilassociation.bsky.social fight against harmful industry lobbying.
Let’s make a change!🌱💪

👂In a lesson focussing on sound, we snapped vegetables near our ears and squished them. It sparked fun conversations - who would have thought that spinach sounds like a rainforest? 🌳

TastEd stands for Taste Education. Can you tell me what your senses are?

Before each TastEd activity, we go through the five senses, creating familiarity and confidence. They're then ready to see, touch, smell, listen or taste different vegetables and fruits!

Such a gorgeous colourful display!

Pulses are a key part of a balanced diet, packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and protein.

With about a dozen main species and over 500 varieties, there's a pulse for everyone!

We love hearing children use their amazing vocabulary to talk about food: Celery sounds like 'thunder and lightning', the apple sounds 'like grass with frost on it'. - Dunbar Primary School #foodforthought #sensoryeducation
