This month's Building a Better You at Brecon Village focused on taste sensations. Residents were led by registered dietitian, Dana Lutz on learning about the five basic taste sensations. Residents also enjoyed a fun exercise on how our sense of smell plays an important role in taste by using raisins. The session concluded with a focus on Superfood: Pumpkin. Residents shared their favorite ways to enjoy Pumpkin, as well as reminiscing with the group on their Fall memories. The group enjoyed tasting a spiced pumpkin mousse - which ended up being the highlight of the session!
“Please join Registered Dietitian, Dana Lutz, for an engaging session learning about the five basic taste sensations and try some common food examples of each. By combining a variety of taste sensations with senses of smell, touch, and even sound, we can create unique flavors in food.”
