Food Facts Sheets

"You have an awesome site full of valuable information. Nice work!"
These food facts sheets are informative sheets that include facts for many fruits and vegetables, grain, dairy and meat products. These fact sheets are to help learn more about good nutrition and follow the MyPyramid.gov food chart for healthy eating for kids.

Visit one of our nutrition lessons here.

Included in each page is how the food grows, when it is available, what to look for when buying, how to cook, and a recipe. Many of these pages have cooking videos, also.

Teaching Food Facts

While cooking with your kids teach them about the foods you are using. Teaching and helping your child understand where and how fruits, vegetables and other products we eat are grown, can help peak their interest in eating healthy. It doesn't have to be a long informative lesson, just telling them such things as potatoes are grown underground, walnuts grow on trees, or carrots are good for your eyes, can be interesting for them to learn.

Try using these fact sheets for lessons within themselves. Choose a fruit or vegetable you'd like to talk about. Then read the food fact sheet, try cooking with it and do an activity (plant a seed, visit a market or make a craft out of it).
