-
Vegetables: Minimum 3/4 cup for grades K-8 daily; 1 cup for grades 9-12 daily. All grades require selections from five different subgroups (dark-green leafy, red/orange, beans/legumes, starchy, other) to meet this component.

3. We implement a program called “Offer versus Serve” in all of our lunchrooms. This initiative aims to reduce food waste by giving children the choice to select three out of the five meal components available at lunch. While students have this flexibility, we encourage them to choose all five components for a more balanced and nutritious meal.
