Food for Thought: Mango

NJCH is proud to support Piscataway Public Library’s “Food for Thought,” a series of events exploring the cultural and historical significance of food in our lives. This event for children ages 4-11 and their families will explore the cultural significance, culinary variety, and sensory wonder of mangoes.

In this joyful and interactive session, families will explore the cultural significance, culinary variety, and sensory wonder of mangoes—India’s national fruit and one of the most beloved across the world. More than just a fruit, the mango is a story, a memory, a science, and a season.

This program will include sampling of dishes and flavors, as well as the opportunity to make your own Mango Lassi using either organic dairy or plant based yogurt. Registration is required. Please register each child between ages 4 and 11 that will be participating.

The Food for Thought project was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this event do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.

Registration through the library is required via the library website.
