Whoever said school lunches had to be boring?

Schools in Mountain Lake, Minn. want to make sure students not only enjoy healthier school lunches but also hope to let kids experience different cultural foods and flavors from around the world.

The new flavors come from Taher Regional Chefs who have visited other parts of the world and then visit the schools to recreate the flavors within school lunches.

Students are intrigued by the flavors, as the Chefs have brought back inspirations from France, Turkey, India, Vietnam, Singapore and Jakarta to the schools lunches.

Fresh fruits that have been a popular hit among students are jamaica and mango.

Having culturally diverse lunches could be a fun and innovative way for kids to try new fruits and vegetables to their diets, increasing consumption of fresh foods and creating a diverse and healthier school food environment.
