Totally Veggies builds vegetable literacy among school nutrition professionals. Reducing the gap in knowledge of leafy greens, deep orange and red, cruciferous and root vegetables may after time, increase acceptance of vegetables by students, improve nutrition and reduce food waste. Barriers to tasting new vegetables are highlighted and tools to gain acceptance of new vegetables addressed. Participants are encouraged to use vegetable dishes to control weight and to monitor portions using the MyPlate method.
