Ravalli Head Start is participating in Montana Harvest of the Month!!
Each month, our preschool along with other participating centers, K-12 schools, and healthcare facilitates throughout Montana will showcase one locally or Montana grown or raised food by
a) serving it in a meal or snack,
b) offering taste tests to children, and
c) doing educational activities.
​
The two primary goals for this program are to expose students to new, healthy foods and to support Montana’s farmers and ranchers.
November Food of the Month
This starchy vegetable is one of the world’s most popular crops!
​
The edible part of the potato grows underground and is called a tuber. Tubers are not roots; they are part of the plant’s stem that stores nutrients to help the plant regrow in the spring. Potato stems and leaves are toxic and are not safe to eat. Potatoes are part of the nightshade family, alongside tomatoes and peppers.
​
Potatoes represent the fourth largest crop grown worldwide, just behind corn, rice, and wheat crops. There are over 4,000 varieties of potatoes, making them the most abundant non-grain food product on earth. ​
​
Montana is a leading state in seed potato production. Seed potatoes are sent to other states, such as Idaho and Washington to be planted and grown into full crops. The U.S. is the 5th largest producer of potatoes globally, following China, India, Russia, and Ukraine.
