Douglas Elementary School Students Try Chickpeas

The last week of February 2019, all of the students at Douglas Elementary School were able to try chickpeas (aka the garbanzo bean) during their DES PTO Real Food Event. The purpose of these events is to allow students to try foods they may not have tried otherwise.
Coast 236 prepared all the chickpeas for the tasting. During the event, students were taught some fun facts about chickpeas as well as nutrient info and recipe suggestions.
