What is the Produce Passport?

Kids love to collect stickers and the Produce Passport has been putting this characteristic to good use for over 10 years now. The Produce Passport makes eating healthier both fun and educational for children. The Produce Passport brings information related to 26 different fruits and vegetables together in one interactive and easy to read sticker book. The idea is as fun as it is simple; you buy the fruit, take the sticker off, or use one provided, eat the fruit and then stick that sticker in the Produce Passport until all the pages are full.The healthier diet and better eating habits they’ll learn along the way are simply by-products of their innate eagerness to collect and complete their Produce Passports!

 

The Produce Passport provides an opportunity to create a positive environment to learn not only about nutrition and taste, but also about the people and the places where all these fruits and vegetables are produced. Each featured fruit or vegetable in the Produce Passport has a brief description about it, its particular nutritional values, the top five producing countries, a flag of one of those countries where it is grown along with a cartoon fruit character and a background map of the part of the world it comes from.

 

How Does the Produce Passport Work?

As illustrated above in the Produce Passport Life Cycle, we are focused on encouraging children to eat a healthier diet while providing them a fun way to track the fruit and vegetables they eat. It is fun and easy to do; you buy the fruit, take the sticker off, or use one provided, eat the fruit and then stick that sticker in the Produce Passport until all the pages are full.
