THE SENSORY CHALLENGE

STEP 1 · THE SENSORY CHALLENGE ·

Can you trust your senses?

Every bite you take is influenced by more than just taste. Our senses work together to shape how we experience food, and sometimes, they can fool us.

Ready to put yours to the test?

  • SMELL

    Around 80% of what we perceive as flavor comes from our sense of smell. Your brain combines taste and aroma to create the full flavor experience.

  • RED

    Our brains associate warm colors like red and pink with sweetness. The color of a package, plate, or drink can actually change how sweet people believe a food tastes.

    Food innovation isn't only about recipes… it's also about designing the complete eating experience.

  • CORN

    Corn is one of the most versatile ingredients on Earth.

    Corn was first domesticated in Mexico over 9,000 years ago, where Indigenous communities transformed a wild grass called teosinte into the crop we know today through generations of observation, selection, and care.

    This wasn't just agriculture, it was one of humanity's earliest examples of food innovation.
