Amicus Kindergarten

As we continue to learn about food loss and about food rescue we were excited to have K2 Kafu’s parents visit us and teach us about pineapples. Mr. and Mrs. Gushiken are pineapple farmers and cafe owners. This year was a poor growing season so many their pineapples were too small to sell. Instead of throwing them away, they donated them to Kinder!! K2s had a wonderful time learning about how to grow and how to eat pineapples. We were able to eat lots of yummy fruit. We had so much fun with Mr. and Mrs. Gushiken. Thank you so much!!

Today we went to the Katsuren Fisheries Association in order to learn about mozuku, Uruma City’s specialty food. Mr. Furugen taught us about how mozuku is grown, processed and shipped to grocery stores and other prefectures. We enjoyed tasting the mozuku and touring the facility. K2s were able to ask questions about the seaweed and were very interested to hear the answers.

Where salt is added to prevent mozuku from spoiling and also where mozuku is canned.

The freezer where mozuku is stored until it is distributed. It was SO COLD! -20C

Question and Answer Time

Before our field trip we discussed our questions about mozuku. Questions included: How does it grow? How do you feed it? Why is it brown? How do you get mozuku seeds? How is it good for your body? Please talk to your child more at home about it.
