Try Me Friday
Our next Try Me Friday is scheduled for tomorrow, April 28! Be sure to ask your kiddos about it. Students had the opportunity to try parsnips at the last Try Me Friday. While the majority of students did not care for the parsnip, it was still a great chance for them to learn about parsnip’s nutritional information. The big takeaway this time was that fiber is a nutrient that most Americans do not eat enough of, children and adults. Read more about fiber, other facts about the parsnip, and get some recipes to try at home here.
