Eat Your Blue Vegetables

from the Hunger for Connection Hosted by Chef Kibby

I did not misspeak… or mistype? Many of the most beneficial foods for you and your child are blue vegetables - at least, that’s what they’d say in ancient Japan. Were they colorblind? No. While the colors we see are the result of light wavelengths interacting with the sensory receptors in the backs of our eyeballs, the way that we interpret those signals are largely learned and formed through culture. In today’s episode of the Hunger for Connection, we once again dive into the science of food and how our bodies experience flavor - including through the eyes! You’ll see how this understanding of perception can open you up to greater empathy and compassion for children having a difficult time dealing with what their bodies are sensing. I hope you are served by this episode.
