Our first Culinary Creations of the semester brought meal plan holders together for a hands-on cooking class featuring onigiri! Students learned basic cooking skills and made a new recipe alongside Campus Executive Chef Gilbert Hodge and Registered Dietitian Chiung Lien. Want to see it in action? Check out the Culinary Creations video on our YouTube channel! Meal Plan holders, keep an eye out for the sign-up email for the next class in October!

Last month, we brough Calle Ocho back to Suwannee Room! To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we teamed up with the Hispanic Latine Student Union to bring a taste of Little Havana to FSU! ⁣We decked out Suwannee Room from top to bottom and served empanadas, croquetas, ropa vieja, and so much more! There was so much fun to be had, like the photo booth, the dominoes table, mocktails, and live music by FSU Mariachi!⁣ It was truly a night like no other!

Six new pizzas have arrived at the COE Cafe! The COE Cafe is a combination convenience store/grill located in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, and it's available for all students and staff that attend the college of engineering! Choose from Cheese, Pepperoni, BBQ Chicken, Cheeseburger, Sausage, or Primavera, and you can use your Dining Dollars and Cash Equivalency!

Health & Nutrition

Persimmons are a bright orange fruit, with the two main varieties originating from Asia and North America. They are packed with important nutrients. Persimmons provide fiber, which supports digestive health and promotes fullness. They also provide potassium, which plays an important role in muscle function and fluid balance. Persimmons contain vitamins A and C which have antioxidant properties and support skin and immune health. Additionally, vitamin B6 contributes to energy metabolism and nervous system function. With their sweet taste and variety of essential nutrients, persimmons are a great way to add more fruit to your diet. 

Try eating seasonally and aim to include a variety of colorful produce in your diet to get a range of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial plant compounds.
