Taste Education
We help schools and nurseries to deliver taste education, to give every child the opportunity to experience the joy of fresh vegetables and fruits. We believe learning about food should be more carrot, less stick
What is our aim?
TastEd is a group of educators, writers and campaigners working to change the way that food education is taught in the U.K. and beyond. Our aim is to help build a generation of children who have a wider palate for healthy foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and a positive relationship with food and their own bodies.
