Fruit Food Group

This week in Project Block students learned about the fruit food group. Students learned that fruits are high in Vitamin C which helps heal cuts and bruises. Students brainstormed all of the different fruits they knew. We also explored new fruits such as blood oranges and pomegranates. We also learned any food item with a seed / seeds is a fruit therefore cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, avocados, etc. are all technically fruits even though we commonly refer to them as vegetables.
