DECEMBER

The NH Harvest of the Month products for February are carrots and beef. Below are a variety of educational materials for use at home, in the cafeteria, and in the classroom. Students, teachers, and parents can learn the historical, geographical, and nutritional aspects of these agricultural products, in addition to using carrots and beef as catalysts for enriching traditional academic subjects and the development of life skills, like cooking and gardening.

Carrots are root vegetables with a crisp texture and vary in color from orange to white, purple to black. Carrots are derived from a Middle Eastern crop called Queen Anne’s Lace and have been selectively bred over centuries to produce the crisp, sweet vegetables we eat today. They can be eaten raw, steamed, baked, boiled, or cooked in soups and stews. Carrots are rich in vitamin A (one serving can supply over 100% of the recommended daily value), as well as  vitamin B6, vitamin K, and modest amounts of other essential nutrients.
