FRESH, LOCALLY GROWN SATSUMAS
Did you know that satsumas are coming back to your school cafeteria? It's true! Each year we partner with Cherokee Satsumas, a local farm in the Florida panhandle, to serve delicious, freshly picked satsumas to the students of Duval County during the winter months
Packed with Vitamin C, this low-sugar fruit is part of the mandarin orange family, which also includes clementines and tangerines. Satsumas are identified by their smooth, lightly attached skin, known as “zipper-skin” that makes them easy to peel and a student-favorite
Food can bridge great distances, allowing students to experience cuisine from other cultures. This year, we invite our middle and high school students to join our international adventure tasting new foods and flavors while learning about different cultures through Worldwide Wednesdays and Global Eats!
Every Wednesday this semester, we’ll be featuring a globally inspired dish to celebrate Look for the Worldwide Wednesday logo on the menu to see what dish we’ll be featuring each week.
