[0:15] This year at Heritage, we're getting [0:17] some new and healthy food options at [0:18] school. The cool thing about this [0:20] program is that all this stuff is [0:22] Minnesota grown. [0:23] >> Oh, yeah. One of the foods we'll get to [0:26] try is soybeans, also known as Adamame. [0:28] You may have had edetomame at a [0:31] restaurant before. They are normally in [0:33] stirfries, curries, salads, and dips. [0:36] >> Edamame is a good source of protein. It [0:38] tastes like a pea or green bean, but it [0:40] is firmer. [0:42] >> A lot of the time, edamame comes in a [0:44] pod, but you can open it up and just eat [0:46] the beans. Later on this year, we're [0:49] going to get to try Minnesota homegrown [0:50] peas and corn. Did you know that [0:52] Minnesota is one of the top five states [0:54] in the US for crop production? In fact, [0:56] last year Minnesota produced 1.35 [0:58] billion bushels of corn. Minnesota is [1:00] also the second highest producer of peas [1:03] in the US, making us a leader of healthy [1:05] food production. We also get to try [1:07] sambooa this year. A simus is a deep [1:09] fried triangle with mostly vegetables [1:11] and meat. They come from many places in [1:14] Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These [1:16] tasty treats are savory and sometimes a [1:19] little sweet or spicy. We're so excited [1:21] to try them. When you see these new [1:23] healthy food options in the cafeteria, [1:25] make sure to try them.
