Kids harvested cucumbers, tomatoes, chives and basil leaves, and flowers to add to the salad. After some chopping and shredding, they completed their quiz. What to harvest to prepare a quinoa salad and the nutritional value of all the vegetables. A brief lesson on mapping the location of Peru and Bolivia and learning who grows quinoa was also included.
