If you asked your child what Kale is, would they know it's a vegetable?
Well, a survey of 1000 children commissioned by Asda discovered that more kids recognised Kale as a boy's name than a vegetable.
Cute! Except the survey also found some other pretty surprising facts:
Off the back of these results, Asda, along with TV chef James Martin – who also presents BBC's Saturday Kitchen show – are launching a community school programme in 2017 called Food School.
The programme will help children understand more about food in an effort to benefit them in both the long and the short term.
Talking about the programme, James – who believes growing up on a farm inspired his career – said: "I was really surprised by the research, but by igniting children’s interest in food and making it fun to learn the stories behind the food they eat every day, it’s a problem that can be easily solved.
"Simple pointers from mum and dad when out shopping or cooking simple meals and baking at home can help kids look at food in a totally different way."
The presenter is also hopeful that by teaching children about food we might discover the next generation of budding chefs.

Asda’s nutritionist, Hayley Marson said: "The provenance behind our products is something we’re hugely passionate about, and we can’t wait to see it brought to life through our Food School programme next year.”
James recently invited 12 children, ranging from the ages of three and eight-years-old to an Asda store to see how much they know about food. His questions ranged from 'Why is a kiwi hairy?' to 'How long does it take to grow a carrot?'
At the end of the trip, the kids all graduated and threw their hats in the air – it's adorable.
