  • Why Round Plates are Better

    Does the shape of your plate matter? Surprisingly, it might.

    Did you know that research has confirmed that plate shape can influence consumers’ perceptions of food, especially sweetness. When comparing round vs. square plates, taste perception changes.

    One study found that perceived sweetness was higher on round plates than square ones. In fact, intensity and quality were also rated higher on round plates.

    Just some fun facts for you! We have many styles and sizes of round plates, as well as square ones, at #ClayCafeStudios. Come on by and check us out!
