Abstract

The act of eating is essential for human beings, being a basic need for maintaining health. Food is responsible for the growth and development, especially of school-age children. To guarantee mental growth and development, actions to promote and protect health are necessary, aimed at healthy eating, in order to enable quality of life and citizenship. This manuscript deals with data collected in 15 municipal school units located in the urban area, corresponding to 70% of the municipality's total, corresponding to 22 schools. A letter was written addressed to school directors, with the aim of clarifying them about the objectives of the training. The audience for this study was made up of lunch ladies from municipal schools in Santo Antônio de Jesus (BA). With the insertion of scientific knowledge into the reality of schools, through training, there was an exchange of knowledge that will benefit both lunch ladies and students across the municipal network. The training was the means used to disseminate information about flavonoids, helping lunch ladies with suggestions on how to better use the flavonoid content of foods. From the application of the questionnaires it is clear that the proposed objectives were achieved.
