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

Cabbage — Crunchy cabbage, a carnival of care!

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.

Cabbage — Crunchy cabbage, a carnival of care!

Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

🎵 **Cabbage**, leafy and green,

High in Vitamin K, widely seen.

Coleslaw, stir-fries, or in a soup,

Its crunchy texture brings a loop.

🎵 Packed with nutrients, a healthy dose,

**Cabbage** adds flavor, from coast to coast.
