Assess what

you see


Hi friends!My name is Mily Corn and I am here with Mr. Pearlie.

Hello dearest.

Would you describe a brick wall the same way you describe food?


The answer is Yes!Our eyes will assess the size, shape, color and

surface texture.


The appearance could be the first hint to determine if the food is appealing or not.

Which apple would you choose to eat ?


You usually choose the most attractive to your eyes...The most shiny...The one with no bruises...

Let’s explore your sight!


I am pretty sure you chose this apple based on the vibrant red color it has.

However color is not the whole story...


More sight characteristics:

- Visual texture: smooth, shiny/opaque, lines, spots, ridges

- Size and shape- Whole bunches or individual pieces


Safety: will the food harm me? Identification: what is it, what flavour is it? Needs: will this food satisfy my present needs for

energy? Likeability: will I like it? Satisfaction: how satisfied will I be after eating, will it

be worth the money?

As a matter of fact, food appearance goes beyond the

looks.

Seeing is more than your eyes, it also involves your brain which

creates expectations.


Food appearance enables us to recognize a food and some of its qualities prior to

consumption.


Finally what words would you use to describe food

appearance?

Here are some that I use.
