The USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion has created a series of quizzes on the five food groups that are “designed to challenge, teach, and even entertain,” says Feedstuffs.
“USDA’s food groups have been around for about 75 years,” says Feedstuffs. “Although the current names of the food groups – fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods and dairy – have changed slightly over time, the food groups were key components of MyPyramid (2005), the Food Guide Pyramid (1992), Food Wheel (1984), Hassle-Free Daily Food Guide (1979), Basic Four (1956) and Basic Seven (1940).”
The quizzes—which you can find here—”test knowledge not just about what foods are in each group (e.g., ‘Where do tomatoes go, anyway?’) but also about the nutrition, health and other benefits of each of the food groups (e.g., ‘What beneficial nutrients are in whole grains that aren’t in refined grains?’).”
