Importance of School Breakfast

The ending of Hispanic Heritage Month leaves us not only with the delicious taste of Latin cuisine in our mouths, but a sense of wonder and excitement for Latin culture on our minds. Now that you’re all caught up on your list of Latin terms, and your knowledge of Plantains around the Latin America, it’s time to continue the journey with Yuca!

September 15^th marks the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States – which means for the next month, Latin culture is celebrated and revered all over the country in a multitude of industries. From the arts and history, to technology and the sciences, contributions from those of Hispanic heritage are appreciated especially during this month.

The healthcare industry has been front and center in the past 2 ½ years, with a global health crisis top of mind and top of news feed.

Every year, school operators look to the most recent studies on what students are craving to create trend-forward menus.

A Month to Celebrate Our Culture 

September 15 marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month.

And as a company who was founded in Latin America and is made up of over 90% people with Latin roots, we naturally must celebrate! 

Due to the growing population and expanding economic power, Hispanics are one of the key groups being targeted by economists, marketers, and advertisers.
