My students have taught me to cook a "bangin' Arroz con Gandules" using combinations of cilantro and other herbs. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could grow their own vegetables and herbs right outside the classroom and use them in all the foods we prepare in my five Foods classes? Especially since I am teaching in an inner-city high school with mostly Hispanic students who don't have the luxury of a backyard where they can grow their own fresh vegetables. Most of my students have no idea what vegetables are! And they certainly don't include them in their diet on a regular basis. Perhaps if they had a hand in growing them, maybe they would be willing to eat them. I think it's worth a try.
