TastEd helps children to learn to enjoy eating vegetables and fruit by using the senses. Our aim is to help build a generation of children who actually enjoy healthy foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and who have a positive relationship with food and their own bodies. At TastEd, we share a belief that every child deserves access to good food as well as the opportunity to try a range of ingredients. A child who won’t taste broccoli often becomes an adult who never eats it. Our mission is to create opportunities for children to use their natural curiosity to widen their preferences in a healthier and more diverse direction.
