Visitors to the Henry Crown Space Center at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, are able to view artifacts as well as engage in interactive stories and recounts of space exploration. Although consumers weren’t blasting off to outer space, the past year saw more people “exploring” new recipes as well as ingredients, leveraging opportunities for new food and beverage solutions.
