Getting a preschooler to try new foods can be difficult.\u00a0 Your preschooler may be more inclined to try a new fruit or veggie knowing it is National Fruit and Veggie Month.\u00a0 Keep reading for a few fun ideas to try a new fruit or veggie this month.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit an Orchard<\/span><\/h4>\n

Spend a day visiting a farm or orchard with your preschooler.\u00a0 Prepare your preschooler by reading books about orchards or farms prior to your visit.\u00a0 Talk about the many different ways to prepare the fruits or veggies you will be picking.\u00a0 Involve your preschooler in choosing how to prepare your haul once you get home.\u00a0 Once you\u2019re home, enjoy time in the kitchen preparing a new dish with your preschooler using the fresh produce he helped pick.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit a Farmer\u2019s Market<\/span><\/h4>\n

Plan a visit to a local farmer\u2019s market.\u00a0 Take your time and explore the many different types of produce available.\u00a0 Ask the farmers about how the fruits and vegetables are grown.\u00a0 Many farmers will be happy to share their favorite way to prepare and eat their produce.\u00a0 Your preschooler may be motivated to choose a fruit or vegetable to try after hearing how they are grown and how the farmers enjoy them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jicama<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jicama is also known as a Mexican yam or Mexican turnip.\u00a0 Jicama is high in antioxidants and fiber.\u00a0 They have a slight sweet taste and are often compared to apples.\u00a0 You can peel and slice jicama into sticks and serve with your preschooler\u2019s favorite dipping sauce or you can make jicama fries.\u00a0 To make jicama fries, begin by peeling the jicama and slicing it into fry like sticks.\u00a0 Toss the sticks in olive oil and season to taste.\u00a0 Spread the jicama sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet and back for approximately 30 minutes at 400\u2109.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make it Fun<\/span><\/h4>\n

Is your preschooler hesitant to try new fruits?\u00a0 Try cutting the fruits or veggies into fun shapes using cookie cutters.\u00a0 A flower shaped piece of pineapple may be more enticing than a pineapple spear.\u00a0 You can also find cutting the fruit or vegetable differently (i.e. cut the cucumber into fry shapes, instead of rounds) makes a difference in your preschooler trying something new.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
