1 LESSON FOUR: FOCUS ON FRUITS KIWI FRUIT Objectives: Identify what is a fruit Describe why we need to eat fruits rich in Vitamin C Experience and try a fruit Describe ways to increase fruit intake each day Supplies Needed: Whole kiwi fruit Utensils for portioning fruit to be tasted (knife, cutting board) Paper cups for tasting portions Disposable gloves Tasty Tidbit Parent Newsletter Worksheet: Citrus and Kiwi Crossword Puzzle Fruit Fact Sheet: Kiwi Poster: Tasty Days: Kiwi Trivia Question: (Announce or post one day before the tasting day) Q: How did the kiwi fruit get its name? A: Kiwi fruit is named after the national bird of New Zealand, the kiwi bird, because of its brown fuzzy skin. Tasting Opportunity: Kiwi fruit Let s Taste Lesson: Review the Trivia Question: Ask students what they think the answer is. Share the correct answer with the students. Do the Activity: How many can you name? game Kiwi fruits are brown on the outside and green on the inside. How many fruits and vegetables can the 10/1/2012 1
2 students name that are one color on the outside and another color on the inside? (kiwi fruit, banana, apple, pear, watermelon, potato, etc.) Have students write the food on the board or on a piece of paper. Have them list the color of the outside and the inside of the fruit or vegetable. Citrus and Kiwi Crossword Puzzle Distribute worksheet to students. (Answers are on separate page) Talk It Over: How many students have tasted a kiwi fruit? Did they taste the kiwi fruit with the skin on it? Tell them they can eat the skin if they want to, but to make sure to wash it first. (Teacher may want to tell children how old they were when they first tasted kiwi fruit.) Reminder for students: Who knows what the difference is between a fruit and a vegetable? Most fruits come from trees and bushes. An exception to this is strawberries that are small plants that grow low on the ground. Fruit trees and bushes grow back every year. Most vegetables come from plants that must be planted every year from a seed. Exceptions to this include rhubarb, asparagus, and artichoke; each of these comes from plants that grow back every year. Apply: How many cups of fruit should a 9-10 year old student eat each day? (1½ cups) How many of you ate 1½ cups of fruit yesterday? Show a measuring cup and estimate how much fruit the students ate. Have some students tell what fruit they ate yesterday. Tell students that most people do not eat as much as is recommended and that is why they are having the tasting lessons to help them learn to eat more fruits. What are some ways you could eat kiwi fruit? (Eat a kiwi fruit at lunch or for a snack, add to a yogurt parfait or a smoothie, slice and add to a salad, use at breakfast on top of a pancake or waffle, mix with other fruits and peppers to make a salsa.) Do you ever see kiwi fruit at a restaurant? (in a mixed fruit salad, or on the salad bar) 10/1/2012 2
3 Taste Opportunity: Pick a better snack & Act reminds you that it is easy to eat fruits as snacks. Have students wash their hands. Serve each student a piece of kiwi fruit. Assure them that everyone likes different foods, but we don t know if we like something until we try it. Encourage students to taste, but let them know that they do not have to try it. Ask students to describe the taste of the kiwi fruit. How is it alike or different from the food tasted during the last tasting day? How would you get a kiwi fruit ready to eat as a snack? Kiwi fruit Wash. Cut. Scoop. Eat. (How easy is that?) Let s Move: 10 minute Activity Break Pick a better snack & Act reminds you that it is fun to move and play every day. Students can be active without any special equipment. Taking an activity break helps teachers and students think better during the school day. Do the Wiggles * Ask students to jog in place while doing the following activities. 1. On teacher s signal, the students begin to wiggle their fingers. 2. Then their fingers and wrists. 3. Then their fingers, wrists, and forearms. 4. Then their fingers, wrists, forearms, and elbows. 5. Then their fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, and shoulders. 6. Then their fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, and rib cage. 7. Then their fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, rib cage, and hips. 8. Then their fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, rib cage, hips, and knees. 9. Then their fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, rib cage, hips, knees, and head. Variations: Start from toes and work your way up (toes, knees, hips, etc.). *Adapted from North Carolina Dept. of Public Instruction, The Energizers, /1/2012 3
4 Let s Share: Give each student a Tasty Tidbit Newsletter to share with their family. Tell them there are ideas to do with their parents or grandparents. Have the students ask their families to pick out a snack idea and an activity to try at home with their family members. Background for Educators: Why do we need to eat fruits? Fruits are often rich in vitamin C which helps our bodies heal cuts and wounds and build bones and teeth. When eaten with food rich in iron, Vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron to give you healthy blood and make you feel better throughout the day. What are the health benefits of fruits and vegetables? The natural antioxidants in fruits and vegetables will help keep your body working at its best, so consuming a diet that meets your daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to give your body a strong defense against disease. Fruits and vegetables are protective to health as they re helpful at reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and some cancers. They re also low in calories, which helps prevent obesity.** How much fruit do we need? A child, 4-13 years old, needs about 1½ cups of fruit each day. The fruit can be fresh, dried, frozen, or canned. Also, it can be a fruit juice. It is better to get most of the 1½ cups from whole fruit rather than fruit juice. Learning more about kiwi fruit: Kiwi fruit are brown and fuzzy on the outside and bright green on the inside with tiny black seeds.** You can eat the fuzzy skin on kiwi fruit as well as the seeds. Like grapes, kiwi fruit grow on vines. Ripe kiwi fruit are plump and slightly soft with a fragrant smell. Sometimes called Chinese gooseberries, kiwi fruit first grew in China s Yangtze River Valley more than 700 years ago. In China, the vines grow wild climbing tall trees. New Zealand is one of the world s largest producers of kiwi fruit. In the US, 10/1/2012 4
5 California is the leading producer. Baby kiwi fruit are now grown in Oregon. They are the size of grapes and have no fuzz. Kiwi fruit are not grown in Tennessee. Kiwi fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of fiber and potassium. Kiwi is one of the most popular fruits today. Kiwi fruit can be used in many different ways. It is a natural meat tenderizer. Just cut the fruit in half and rub the cut end over the meat, or peel and mash the kiwi fruit with a fork then spread on the surface of the meat and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.** Web Site Resources ** 10/1/2012 5
