To most children, it seems, ingredients are the list of things on the side of the jar, mostly to be sneered at, so it will be a bit of a surprise when they are required to take some into school for cookery lessons. It may also be a bit of a surprise to their parents, who have missed out on a generation of practical home management education.

This may not be a bad thing. I recall taking stuff into school which was all mixed up by the time I arrived and the finished product was mangled and unrecognisable before I got it home anyway. Basic ingredients, in most cases are cheap, but the kids will miss out on discovering this unless “shopping lessons” are also included.
