Vegetables from around the world!

Growing Chefs was back this week.  We were all encouraged to bring a vegetable we eat at home to share with the class.  Many of the children who remembered to bring in a vegetable also told us a little bit about the vegetable and how their family prepares it!  After talking about all the different vegetables, we all got to sample them!  YUM!

Here are some of the vegetables we brought in.  There was a zucchini, a Japanese radish, a giant carrot, tomatoes and kale - in many forms:  a plant, freshly picked AND KALE CHIPS!! 
One of our chefs is busily chopping up vegetables for us to try.  Also,  can you see our garden of vegetables growing in the window!!??

Here are the vegetables, ready for us to sample - there are peppers and peas and asparagus AND EVEN some chickpeas!

Everyone eagerly dives in!  It was so good to see the whole class try these fresh and healthy vegetables!
