TastEd is a food education charity whose mission is to radically transform food education by helping every child in the UK to develop a joyful relationship with healthy food and learning to love of eating vegetables and fruit. They do this through supporting schools and nurseries to introduce sensory food education to their pupils, giving children the opportunity to explore foods they may not have the chance to try at home.
