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.
January Food of the Month
With harder rinds than their summer squash cousins, winter squash are harvested in the fall but can last into the winter if stored correctly.
Winter squash is an excellent vegetable for the cold weather months in Montana. It is grown during the summer and harvested in the fall. Due to the hard rind squash are able to be stored well into winter—thus the name winter squash.
​
Harsh winters make it difficult for vegetables to grow in Montana year-round, so squash are great winter nutrition boosters to include in meals. Winter squash are loaded with vitamins A and C and provide approximately the same amount of potassium as bananas. Vitamin A helps maintain good vision and keeps skin healthy.
​
Winter squash is delicious on its own, roasted with seasonings. Or add cubed winter squash to chili or to pizza for a delicious and vitamin packed meal.
