Lack of outdoor play makes children clueless about fruit and veg

Interesting article here from Fresh Produce Journal. Extract here:

“From basil on your pizza to coriander in your curry, modern families cook with all sorts of herbs ā€“ but only one in three children can name a single one, a survey has found.

And more than half could not name five fruit or vegetables that grow in British gardens, apart from potatoes.”
