ABOUT THE REAL FOOD FOR KIDS: CULINARY CHALLENGE

Since 2012, the Real Food for Kids Culinary Challenge has provided students the unique experience of mirroring the responsibilities of school nutrition professionals by creating delicious, healthy school meals that represent the diverse culinary traditions in our school communities.

Using approved ingredients and USDA school nutrition guidelines, middle and high school student teams demonstrate how they – the consumers – can impact the taste and reputation of the lunch line with creative approaches that benefit entire school systems. These lunches are designed to bring restaurant-quality food with consideration to nutritional balance to our school cafeterias.

The culinary theme of this year’s competition is Buy Local Eat Local, asking students to source 50% or more of their ingredients locally or regionally.
