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

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.

Guava: Guava, so bold and sweet, a tropical treat that’s hard to beat!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

🎵 Guava, guava, oh so bright,

In our fruit bowl, you’re a sight.

Full of fiber, vitamins too,

Guava, we do love you!

Rich in Vitamin C, for immunity,

And potassium, for heart unity.

In a juice or in a pie,

Guava, you’re our favorite guy!

Guava, guava, oh so bright,

Eating you is pure delight!

With antioxidants, for cells’ repair,

Guava, you’re beyond compare.

So here’s to the guava, so divine,

In health and taste, you truly shine!

Guava, guava, oh so bright,

Eating you is pure delight! 🎵
