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

Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts 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.

Freekeh: Smoky and light, a savory bite, adding warmth to every bite!

Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

🎵 Row, row, row your boat,

Freekeh’s good for you!

Packed with fiber, full of grain,

Keeps your body true! 🎵

🎵 Row, row, row your boat,

Iron in each bite!

Helps you grow and stay so strong,

Keeps your body bright! 🎵

🎵 Row, row, row your boat,

Freekeh’s rich and fine!

Vitamins and protein too,

Help you feel divine! 🎵

🎵 Row, row, row your boat,

Healthy as can be!

Freekeh gives you energy,

It’s the grain for me! 🎵
