A is for apple. Apples are one of America’s favorite fruits. Maybe that’s because you can find fresh apples any time of the year, all over the country. Did you know that apples come in shades of reds, greens, and yellows? The top apple producing states are: Washington, New York, Michigan, California, Pennsylvania and Virginia. FSA Kids B is for barley -a type of cereal grain. Barley is grown for three major uses: livestock feed, malting and for people to eat. The amount of barley used as human food is small and mostly for use in soups and stews and some types of flour. The kernel must be "pearled" to remove the tightly attached hulls. Barley grows in 27 states in the US. Major producing states are: North Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Virginia, Minnesota, Maryland, South Dakota, Oregon and Utah. FSA Kids C stands for carrot. Carrots aren’t always orange. They can be FSA Kids yellow, purple, white, red, green or black. Although no one knows for sure, it looks like the very first carrots were purple. The edible part of a carrot is actually the root. Carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which our bodies turn into vitamin A. Vitamin Ais very important for good health, especially for your eyes. D is for dates. Dates grow on female date palm trees. Although they grow in many countries around the world, in the U.S. almost all grow in California. The fruit clusters are covered with paper bags to protect them from rain and dust. And when the dates are ripe, they are harvested by hand. FSA Kids E is for eggs. Eggs are eggs-citing! About 240 million laying hens produce FSA Kids 66 billion eggs each year in the United States. Did you know that yolk color depends on the diet of the hen? Natural yellow-orange food such as marigold flower petals can be added to the chicken feed to make a brighter color. Artificial color additives are not permitted! The top egg-raising states are: Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Nebraska, Florida, Georgia and Minnesota. F is for fig. Figs are loaded with fiber-something everyone needs as part of a healthy diet. In the U.S. figs are grown mostly in California. Although we think of figs as a fruit, the fig is actually a flower that is turned inside out into itself. The seeds are the real fruit. FSA Kids G FSA Kids is for grape. Grapes grow on a woody grape vine in clusters of 6 to 300. They can be black, blue, golden, green, purple-red and white. They can be eaten raw or used for making grape juice, jelly, wine, and grape seed oil. Raisins are the dried fruit of the grapevine, and the name actually comes from the French word for "grape". In late August, grapes are hand picked, laid on rows of poly paper trays in the vineyard, and allowed to dry naturally in the sun. After two to three weeks, a fresh grape becomes a sun-dried raisin. FSA Kids His for hogs. Hogs are big business in the U.S. There are about 60 million of them across the nation! We rank number three in the world in hog production. And more than 2/3 of them are raised in the Corn Belt (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and parts of Ohio, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri and Kentucky) . Texas has the largest population of wild hogs, estimated at about 3 million. I is for iceberg lettuce. Americans love iceberg lettuce. We eat more iceberg than any other lettuce -about 30 pounds a person, each year. It may surprise you, but lettuce is a member of the sunflower family. In the United States, most lettuce is grown in California and Arizona. The name iceberg comes from the way the lettuce was transported in the US starting in the 1920s, on train-wagons covered in crushed ice, making them look like icebergs. Lettuce is also grown in Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Florida. Iceberg lettuce helps make salads and sandwiches taste great! FSA Kids
