Crunch&Sip® in the regions
Whilst Western Australia’s vastness and space offer many beautiful places to call home, the geographical spread paired with unforeseen weather circumstances can add a degree of uncertainty to the supply and quality of fresh produce to regional towns across the state.
This potential for limited supply and poor quality of fresh produce can be a barrier to students in regional WA participating in Crunch&Sip®. To overcome some of these barriers, encourage families to use food from tins, jars or even frozen veg as alternative options for the classroom break when fresh is not available.
Why we love long-life veg!
• Tinned and frozen veg is ideal to keep in the pantry or freezer and reach for when fresh is not accessible. Often, long-life veg will provide more variety and be readily available when the fresh food supply is limited.
• Tinned and frozen veg can be an affordable way to pack your child’s favourite vegetable when it is out of season or expensive to buy fresh.
