Why a research project and resources website are promoting vegetables through e-books

Children are more likely to try vegetables and develop a liking for them if they first become familiar with them in picturebooks, and it is this visual link that provides the basis for the See & Eat resources website.

Part of the See & Eat project funded by EIT Food (European Institute of Innovation & Technology), the website features a range of activities and 24 interactive e-books in multiple languages.

The activities include matching and guessing games, a shopping list, a seasonal vegetable calendar and tips on growing, preparing and cooking vegetables.

Each e-book profiles a vegetable, showing what it looks like, and how it is grown, prepared and cooked. The books can be viewed and personalised, using audio, video and pictures, through the free-to-download Our Story 2 app.
