Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kids’ 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.

Hazelnut: Whirls of flavor, tiny savor, a magical crunch we all favor!

Tune: “London Bridge Is Falling Down”

🎵Hazel Nut, oh so neat,

Nature’s treat, a healthy feat.

Roasted in treats, so fun to eat.

Crunchy, rich, a tasty treat.

🎵 Filled with vitamins, good and true.

Healthy fats — they’re good for you.

Brain and eyes, strong and bright.

Hazel Nut, a yummy bite.

🎵 Antioxidants, like shields, they stand

To fight off bad stuff, that’s their plan.

Fiber for tummy — keeps it light,

Healthy bones, strong and tight.

🎵 Hazelnuts, like a tasty treasure.

Snack on them; it’s such a pleasure.

Good for you, morning and night.

Tasty nuts, a pure delight.
