BREAKFAST

SNACKS WEDNESDAY - Carrots In the 17th century western carrots first appeared in the Netherlands. Dutch carrot growers invented the orange carrot in honor of the House of Orange, the Dutch Royal Family. The orange color results from abundant carotenes in these cultivars, mainly the beta-carotene which is a strongly colored red-orange pigment found in some plants and fruits. http://www.sciencekids.co.nz THURSDAY - Cantaloupe
