Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kids’ love for diverse foods in a fun and engaging way.

Avocado - A Nutritional Harmony!

Prepared by Srinivasa K. Rao, Ph.D.

Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts both their health and the planet’s biodiversity, we propose to foster a love for diverse foods through the universal language of music. We created nursery rhymes, each featuring a different food item, set to familiar tunes. We hope these rhymes will not only educate children about the nutritional benefits of various foods but also stimulate demand for diverse crops, ultimately contributing to biodiversity.

This initiative promises a fun, engaging way to cultivate healthier habits in children while safeguarding our planet.

Avocado — A Nutritional Harmony!

Tune: “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”

🎵 “Avocado, green and ripe,
In our meals, you’re the stripe.
Packed with good fats, that’s for sure,
You’re a fruit we can’t ignore.

Spread on toast, or in a dip,
Avocado, you’re a cool ship!
Your creamy taste, oh what a sight,
Avocado, you’re just right!

High in potassium, a heart’s friend,
Avocado, on you we depend.
Antioxidants hidden in your core,
Avocado, we adore.

For growing kids, you’re the right bite,
Avocado, you’re pure delight!
With your goodness, so clear and near,
Avocado, you bring cheer!” 🎵
