Twist Your Tastebuds

Thursday, August 6 at 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Date: Thursday August 6th

Time: 4:30-5:30PM

Location: Second Floor Art Studio

For kids entering grades 4-6 in Fall 2026.

 

Using a natural berry called the Miracle Berry, we will flip our taste buds around to make sour things sweet and sweet things even sweeter! Come try a plethora of snacks and see how familiar, favorite foods can take on new flavors.

What is Frooties (and what is Miracle Fruit)?
Synsepalum dulcificum is a plant (bush), native to West Africa. Miracle Fruit berries cause sour and bitter foods, such as lemons and rhubarb, to taste sweet. Within the miracle berry is a protein called miraculin that binds to your tastebuds, triggering your sweet receptors when introduced to acidic foods.

 

Registration is required for this event.
