Surprises abound about the treats we eat in a new exhibition called Edible

Expeditions. It¹s a chance to see food in the wild as visitors take a discovery

journey of edible plants from around the world. Arranged in lush demonstration

gardens, Edible Expeditions highlights the many delicious products that we enjoy

from tropical countries like chocolate, vanilla, coffee, rice and spices galore.

Interactive demonstrations help visitors understand how their food goes from

vine to dine. And families will enjoy the many hands on Edibilicious activities

that allow children to explore tropical roots, fruits, leaves and seeds with

their senses.
