What is zak! brain food?

Brain Food is nutritional, healthy snack-food eaten during early-learning years and by primary school aged children at their desk while they work.
Most Australian state schools are moving to a National Curriculum by 2015-6. Recognising that kids learn best in the earlier part of the day, schools are adjusting schedules, and morning timetable is extending to two hour blocks, with time given for kids to re-fuel and re-hydrate as they work.

Parents are now packing and sending Brain Food to school each day. Brain Food will become part of a school child's morning routine.
