The Dinah Gore 4-H Healthy Food Challenge is a contest between teams of three to four 4-H members to create a dish that will serve three people using a predetermined ingredient, food category, and items from the pantry.
Once the ingredient is revealed, the team will have 40 minutes to prepare the dish, clean up and prepare their presentation for the judges. The team will make a presentation to the judges about their dish, its health benefits, and the nutrients the dish provides to the body, about 10 minutes after the dish is ready.
Categories include Protein, Grains, Fruit & Vegetable, and Dairy. The category will be assigned on the day of the contest.
