Well folks, the yellow tomatoes are getting ready to head to Fresno County classrooms!
We took a sneak peak this afternoon. Those golden beauties will be in route first thing tomorrow morning, arriving at Fresno Schools before 9a.m.
Wednesday morning all schools outside of Fresno Unified will receive their Tasting Time kit.
Let us know how students like the tasting!

Last Friday our nutrition educators had the opportunity to provide a mini-workshop to the Adult Transition Program, at Fresno Unified Food Services.
The Adult Transition Program serves 18-22 year old's with functional skills education.
These young adults loved learning more about choosing low-fat milk more often! We anticipate offering a class series soon as a follow up to this workshop.
Here's a picture of our nutrition educator, Kristi Sharp, in action teaching about calcium and low-fat milk consumption.
Would you like UC CalFresh to provide nutrition education? Give us a call at: 559-241-7532.

September's Tasting Time is yellow grape tomatoes.
They have been in season all summer, we can't wait for students to try them!
How do we select "Tasting Time" foods?
Many teachers have asked how foods are selected. UC CalFresh selects foods that are low in fat and sodium and high in vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Visit our website for more information.
