Fun Food Science! Hiroshima International University Cooks Up a Storm with Local Cafes!
Imagine a super cool place where you can learn about yummy food and how to make it even better! That’s exactly what’s happening at Hiroshima International University, where their awesome Food and Nutrition Department is teaming up with a popular cafe called “All Cafe x Tanita Cafe Kure Branch.”
This isn’t the first time they’ve done this – it’s actually their third year! And this year, they’re making it extra special. For three whole days, from February 25th to 27th, they’ll be serving up three brand-new, super delicious menu items!
What’s so special about these menus?
Well, the students at the university are using their amazing science smarts to create these dishes. They’re not just making food that tastes good, they’re also thinking about:
- Using local ingredients! This is like using ingredients that grow right in your backyard. It’s good for the farmers and it helps make the food taste super fresh. Think of it like using the brightest, best colors from your crayon box!
- Adding in cool new trends! Just like how you might try a new dance move or a new game, the students are looking at what’s popular and tasty right now. This means they’re experimenting and trying new things, which is a big part of science!
The people at the university said they want the students to “shine brightly through food.” This means they want the students to use their creativity and knowledge to make food that makes everyone happy and healthy.
Why is this like science?
Think about it! When scientists want to discover something new, they:
- Ask questions: “What happens if I mix these two things?” or “How can I make this taste even better?”
- Experiment: They try different combinations, just like the students are trying different ingredients and flavors.
- Learn from what happens: If something doesn’t work out, they learn from it and try something else. This is how we discover amazing things!
- Use their knowledge: Scientists know a lot about how things work. Food scientists know about ingredients, how they react, and how to make them healthy and delicious.
You can be a food scientist too!
Next time you’re helping in the kitchen, think about the science!
- Why does baking soda make cakes rise? That’s a cool chemical reaction!
- Why does stirring sugar into water make it disappear? That’s about dissolving!
- What happens if you add a little lemon juice to milk? You might be surprised!
By trying new recipes, exploring different foods, and asking “why?” you’re already doing science! Maybe one day you’ll be creating your own amazing new menus like these students at Hiroshima International University!
So, if you get a chance to try some of these special collaboration meals, go for it! You’ll be tasting the results of brilliant food science and supporting students who are shining bright!
