Maddie learns what happens to food in our bodies when we eat it and why it’s important to eat a variety of different foods from different food groups. We find out which foods give us energy to move around, which help our bodies grow and repair, and which foods we get vitamins and minerals from. Then Maddie visits a meringue factory where she discovers how the proteins in egg whites work to make the meringue. She uses her special slow-motion camera to see how the giant whisks mix the egg whites with sugar, so that the mixture turns glossy and thick. And we see how the meringue is cooked to make it crunchy on the outside and gooey in the middle. Show less
