It's Bananas: Go on a Virtual Tour at The Catsup Museum

Nutria Asia sent a very saucy package to our home recently.

It contained their popular Banana Catsup brands from UFC, Jufran and Papa 

with the addition of a bottle of sweet chili sauce and sriracha sauce from Jufran.

The pack also contained our favorite Locally juice drinks ...

... and packets of gravy sauce from UFC. These would be a welcome addition to our pantry as we find ourselves cooking at home more now that we are on Community Quarantine.

Here's something new to experience - A virtual tour of NutriAsia's Catsup Museum!

For the past few months, parents and their children had to stay safe at home. During this time they had extra time to bond and perhaps learn more about each other more than ever. Parents in particular had to become more creative in coming up with solutions to keep their children creatively and intellectually inspired, whether it would be doing activities with them at home or perhaps digital learning, sometimes it can be a challenge to find a balance between the two.

The Catsup Museum, founded in 2017 by NutriAsia in partnership with The Mind Museum goes online, hosting a virtual tour and interactive module to provide banana-mazing learning resources for kids of all ages. Home to beloved household names like UFC, Papa, Jufran and Mafran, NutriAsia set up The Catsup Museum in order to promote Filipino virtues of ingenuity, resourcefulness and hard work, which all go into each bottle of banana catsup )The virtual tour will take viewers around the interactive exhibits of the museum, while giving in-depth commentary and even quizzes per area. With trusty banana acting as a guide, the tour also offers 350 degree viewing, allowing the audience to click and drag their mouse or move their mobile phone around to see every angle.

The Catsup Museum virtual tour starts off at the Hall of the Natural History of Banana. Here, parents and their kids can learn more about the condiment's main ingredient, including where it was first planted, its life stages and the nutrients it gives. Following this is the Maria Ylagan Orosa Hall, names after the Filipina food technologist, chemist, humanitarian, and war heroine who invented banana catsup. Then, viewers are taken behind the scenes into how each bottle of catsup is made in the Manufacturing Hall. A replica of the factories used by NutriAsia. Rounding up the tour is the Banquet Hall, which features larger-than-life food displays representing dishes banana catsup can be enjoyed with.

For kids who love games and videos, the Catsup Museum will also be launching an interactive module entitled Banana 101. Centered on the wonder fruit, kids can enjoy a series of entertaining activities that will teach them everything about the banana, form its history and life cycle, to how they are grown and processed into the food they eat.

The Catsup Museum's digital resources are all part of Homeschool: Masarap, Matuto, Masaya Mag-Aral, Nutri-ASia's first ever learning platform made to spark curiosity in every child. Carving a new path to learning for parents and children alike, the selection of educational materials will cover topics such as health and nutrition to beloved Philippine fruits care of Locally, and will be launched through NutriAsia's website very soon.
