One of the many goals in the school kitchen is to maximise the food’s nutrients while presenting it in a child-friendly manner.
We try to incorporate cooked and raw foods in each meal to ensure they retain all their goodness. Fruits, vegetables & legumes make up the core lunch foods. When we cook our vegetables and pulses they are steamed or totally incorporated into a one-pot meal , which retains their goodness and flavour. For many vegetables and all legumes, the cooking process makes them easier to digest and absorb the nutrients.
Our seasonal fruits and raw vegetables are chosen for their highest nutrient value and freshness.
