SPONSORED: Students flock to Joy Smith’s classroom during her weekly ‘Unfamiliar Foods’ lunchtime program. Discover how this partnership benefits the health of King Cove’s students and elders.
It’s not every day that starfuits, rambutans, persimmons hitch a ride on the barge to King Cove.
Since it began, the program has expanded to serving elders at the Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, which has been a fantastic success. Gaps to accessing fresh, new ingredients were front of mind when Smith started Unfamiliar Foods last August. The idea hatched at an Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association potluck, where attendees were asked to take a survey about food security — including a question about what kept them from trying new foods.That got Smith thinking: “I thought that we could maybe do something where the kids could find a recipe and cook it in class,” she said.
“If kids try a food and they realize that it’s not this weird-looking thing, and that you can do all these different things with it, then they’re going to go home and tell their parents,” Smith said. The Unfamiliar Foods program has reached King Cove elders, too. Smith connected with the Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association to bring food samples to elders in the community. That expanded to elder lunches featuring dishes like a starfruit tart and jambalaya.
