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.

July Food of the Month

Summer squash is this month’s Harvest of the Month! Did you know zucchini, the most popular summer squash variety, originated in Italy? 

​

Squash have been a part of our agricultural landscape for a long time! Most squash varieties were first grown and developed in America and were later brought to Europe. However, zucchini originated in Italy. Botanically speaking, squash are the immature fruit of the plant, and you will notice the seeds are inside. Summer squash are a good source of vitamin C, and contains manganese, potassium, and vitamin B6. Manganese is critical in the formation of bone and to keep your skeleton healthy! Try eating summer squash raw or cooked in pasta salads, baked into zucchini chips, or cut into sticks or rounds to eat with your favorite dip.

​

Summer squash are a great addition to any garden. Zucchini plants grow very well and with any luck you will have enough squash to share with your neighbors. Summer squash need full sun and plenty of room to grow. Some varieties can be successfully grown in containers or trained to grow up a trellis to take up less space in small gardens.
