Participate in our aroma sensory demo to determine if you'd make a good sensory evaluator! In this fun activity, you'll try to identify common food aromas without any visual clues. We promise no bad smells here! You'll select 3-6 smelling jars, carefully crack open each lid, and take a whiff. Can you correctly guess the everyday scent inside?
