A fun way to create a learning experience that promotes healthy lifestyles among families. MHR Recipe Stories feature images of actual families preparing a featured recipe, written in the form of a story, to create a learning experience that promotes healthy lifestyles among families. The Seed Pal characters are used to engage and guide participants through the recipes, to encourage families to gather in the kitchen and create healthy nutritious foods, and memorable family moments. Each recipe introduces a variety of natural and/or organic ingredients, prepared in such a way to encourage children and adults to make healthy choices. Additionally, the experience provides opportunity to discover the smell, taste, texture, and nutritional values, of different fruit, vegetables spices and foods.
