What is The Big Vegie Crunch?
Only around 5% of NSW children eat enough vegetables! To help our community do better, our school will be taking part in The Big Vegie Crunch (part of Vegetable Week) at 10am on Thursday 4 April.
Primary schools across NSW will be joining together to break the record for the most students crunching vegetables simultaneously. Last year 50,260 students crunched together, including students from BCC!
What can you do to help?
Pack a container of vegetables (not fruit this time) for your child to eat on Thursday 4 April and keep serving up the vegetables at home and in your children’s lunchboxes!
Need some ideas?
- carrot, celery, cucumber – cut into sticks or left whole
- capsicum – cut into sticks or wedges
- corn – raw baby corn spears or a cooked corn cob
- broccoli or cauliflower florets – raw or lightly cooked to keep their crunch
- tomatoes – small cherry tomatoes or a large tomato that can be eaten like an apple
- beans or snow peas – raw or lightly cooked to keep their crunch
- mushrooms – sliced or left whole
