This is a form of science that centers on both the chemical and physical processes that occur in cooking. If you are a fan of boba tea, you may have tried bursting boba or a small boba made from fruit juice. The bursting effect in your mouth from bob is a good illustration of molecular gastronomy. A common molecular gastronomy technique is one known as spherification. This is the process of making soft, slimy balls similar to caviar. Your children will appreciate how spherification turns their favorite juice into edible fruit spheres.
