Our friends with Healthy Kids Happy Planet brought a fun event to Monte Vista Elementary recently. Fourth graders were given a presentation about the importance of adding beans to their diet and how it is sustainable for our environment. They specifically talked about the edamame bean.

After that, WaveCrest Cafe hosted a tofu tasting event for all grades. We made teriyaki tofu over rice for sampling during lunch. Students received samples and were able to learn more about the bean with fun activities put on by the Healthy Kids Happy Planet team. Students were also sent home with a card that had fun facts about edamame and fun recipes using the bean they could try at home. Students rated the tofu, and it went over great!
