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.

Jujube: Jujube, a tiny delight, chewy and sweet, a tasty bite!

Tune: “Five Little Ducks”

🎵 “Jujube fruits, small and round,

In our garden, they are found.

Rich in Vitamin C, oh so sweet,

Jujube fruits are a health treat!

Eating jujubes, one by one,

Boosts immunity, under the sun.

High in fiber, for digestion’s ease,

Jujube fruits, they aim to please.

Jujube fruits, small and round,

In our garden, they are found.

Packed with antioxidants, a healthy crown,

Jujube fruits, you wear the crown!

Eating jujubes, one by one,

Healthy snacking is so fun.

Jujube fruits, small and round,

You’re the best fruit that we’ve found!” 🎵
