Key Ingredients: America By Food is a traveling Smithsonian exhibit that stirs the senses and has something for the whole family. Trace how immigration and technology have changed eating habits throughout 500 years of American history. Explore the culinary and agricultural traditions of New Jersey. From the Pinelands bogs where Elizabeth White cultivated the commercial blueberry to the Newark factory where M&Ms were invented to the nonalcoholic grape juice created in Vineland by Thomas Bramwell Welch, New Jersey has a rich and vibrant heritage of food innovation, tradition, and production.
