NI Good Food Kidzone

Hey Kids, this is the place to be to learn more about your food!

Have you looked at your food really closely? Does your food always smell like it tastes? Which foods go crunch and which go slurp? Can you tell the difference between sweet, salty and bitter tastes?

There’s excitement in the tasting, sniffing and feel of food. The Taste Adventure, which is run by Slow Food UK in partnership with www.grainchain.com, aims to bring these sensations to life.

The Taste Adventure is an interactive way of introducing people to the use of all five senses when eating and enjoying food. The key message that we aim to convey is:

‘To really enjoy food we need to use all our five senses’ and in order to start the journey of a life-long love of food, we believe it is vital that everyone understands:
• how to appreciate food using each sense individually
• how each sense affects the others
• the basic elements of taste

Have you ever planted your own seed and watched it grow?

Well done if you have! If not, why not give it a go?!

It’s SO easy and you get the tastiest fruit and vegetables if you grow them yourself!
