Scientists Develop Beef Rice - Rice Grown with Cow Cells for Added Protein and Fat
-
Scientists in Korea created "beef rice" - rice infused with cow muscle and fat cells to add more protein and fat.
-
The hybrid rice is intended to be a more sustainable, affordable alternative to conventional beef and rice.
-
The rice grains were coated in fish gelatin and microbial transglutaminase to help the cow cells adhere and grow.
-
The protein-rich hybrid rice contains 8% more protein than normal rice, while the fat-rich rice has 7% more fat.
-
The researchers believe this "microbeef" rice could ensure food relief in developing countries, during wars, and even in space.
