NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raddish Kids, the original cooking subscription box for kids and trusted by more than 500,000 families, has earned STEM.org designations across each of its three product lines – cooking, baking and global cooking.
Cooking and baking subscription boxes earned the STEM.org Authenticated™ designation, while global cooking earned both STEM.org Authenticated™ and the additional Best in STEM designation, reserved for products in the top five percent of those authenticated. Raddish Kids’ global cooking subscription box takes families on a culinary journey through foods and traditions from around the world. Through approachable recipes and activities, children can discover new ingredients, techniques and cultural food traditions while practicing real-life cooking skills at home.
Raddish Kids is built on the simple belief that the kitchen is where kids gain confidence and families connect. Its three monthly subscription boxes (spanning cooking and baking) help kids build real-life skills while discovering new foods, cultures, and cooking techniques through illustrated recipes, kid-designed tools, and hands-on activities. All recipes are high-quality and chef-designed, making meals just as exciting for kids to create as they are enjoyable for the whole family to eat.
Families maintain flexibility by sourcing their own ingredients and cooking on their own schedule, with recipe adaptations available for dietary needs. Each subscription includes Raddish Plus, a digital cooking companion with more than 400 recipes, guides, and activities that extend the experience beyond the box.
“Earning STEM.org Authenticated recognition across all three of our product lines is especially meaningful because hands-on learning has always been central to the Raddish Kids experience,” said Maegan Zelner, Chief Operating Officer at Raddish Kids. “Having our global cooking line also recognized as Best in STEM makes this an exciting milestone for our team and reinforces the value of giving kids opportunities to learn, create and build confidence in the kitchen while exploring foods and cultures from around the world.”
The STEM.org Authenticated trustmark is designed to help parents and educators identify products that have undergone third-party review against STEM-oriented standards. The designation considers areas including alignment with science, technology, engineering and math learning, development of 21st-century skills and engagement through hands-on learning and collaboration.
The designation streamlines consumers’ ability to identify resources that conform to vetted STEM standards, thus assisting with quick decision-making in favor of quality. When parents and educators observe STEM.org Educational Research’s seal, they know that products will:
- Integrate seamlessly into STEM-friendly classrooms and homes
- Align to science, technology, engineering and/or math standards
- Support the development of learner’s 21st century skills
- Engage users through hands-on learning and collaboration
- Ensure a secure, third-party review and evaluation process
Those elements are naturally present throughout many kitchen experiences. Following recipes can give children opportunities to measure, sequence steps, observe changes in ingredients, practice problem-solving and see how actions produce results.
“Raddish Kids’ achievement demonstrates excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education,” said Andrew B. Raupp, Executive Director at STEM.org Educational Research™. “Its experiences help strengthen STEM learning skills while promoting STEM education through hands-on learning, and its global cooking subscription box is a true standout, ranking in the 95th percentile among all STEM products we’ve authenticated since 2014.”
