Often, senior adults may lack the funds, energy, and desire to prepare a variety of nutritious foods. The Anderson County Cooperative Extension Service Family and Consumer Sciences agent prepared new recipes featuring fruits and vegetables that were served to 164 seniors over six visits to the local senior citizens center. More than 95 percent of seniors sampled the recipe. About 50 percent of those seniors who said they would not like the food prior to tasting later asked for the recipe. On subsequent visits, 50 percent of the group said they had prepared the recipe at least once at home since the lesson. Seniors improved the nutritive value of their meals and added color and texture to stimulate their appetite.
