RICE-BEEF?!
… by growing muscle cells and animal fat inside rice grains
… “Imagine getting all the nutrients we need from protein rice grown in cells,”
… “the addition of cells from livestock can further increase it,”
… The group of scientists first coated rice with fish gelatin
… muscle and cow fat stem cells were then sown in the rice
… left in culture in the Petri dish for about 9-11 days
… The final product harvested is a cell-grown beef rice
… has 8% more protein and 7% more fat
… Hybrid rice with a higher muscle content had beef- and almond-smelling compounds
… those with a higher fat content had compounds corresponding to cream, butter and coconut oil
… has a carbon footprint significantly less
… marketed … could cost about $2.23 per kilogram, while beef costs $14.88
… the team intends to create better conditions in the rice grain for the growth of muscle and fat cells, so as to further increase the nutritional value
