This class highlights how culturally-appropriate, plant-based meals—can support good nutrition. Participants will explore delicious, budget-friendly recipes and receive a Children’s Taste of African Heritage Student Handbook along with access to additional online lessons. Plus, kids will have the opportunity to tour the store, learning how to identify nutritious foods and make healthy choices while grocery shopping.
