US EditionScientists grow 'meaty' rice hybrid food for protein kick
- Scientists have developed cell-cultured beef rice by adding cow muscle and fat cells to rice grains coated in fish gelatine and culturing them for 9 to 11 days. The hybrid rice contains 8% more protein and 7% more fat than regular rice.
- The cell-cultured beef rice has a smaller carbon footprint, producing less than 6.27 kg of CO2 per 100 g of protein compared to beef's 49.89 kg. It is also estimated to cost $2.23 per kilogram, while beef costs $14.88.
- The researchers believe the nutrient-dense rice could provide relief for famine, military ration, or space food, but it remains to be seen if consumers would accept it.

Orez cu celule de carne de vita. Ultima gaselnita a cercetatorilor ca sa rezolve criza alimentara si protejarea mediului
Oamenii de ştiinţă din Coreea de Sud au dezvoltat un nou tip de aliment hibrid sustenabil, care combină orez şi celule de carne de vită, despre care cred că ar putea contribui la rezolvarea crizelor alimentare şi care ar putea marca un progres în combaterea schimbărilor climatice, informează AFP.Noul tip de orez a fost cultivat în laborator de cercetători de la Universitatea Yonsei din Seul şi conţine celule musculare şi adipoase de vită.Rezulta…
The hybrid food, grown in the laboratory, contains beef muscle and fat cells. A product that is cheaper, less polluting, and more nutritious than regular rice.
Korean scientists develop 'non-vegetarian' rice, claim it to be much more eco-friendly source of protein
How much protein is too much protein? Well, it looks like the protein that we get from available plant and animal products is not enough as scientists had to create a new type of hybrid food- non-vegetarian rice. This rice, which is made of beef muscle and fat cells has 8 per cent more protein than usual rice, as per the research team at Yonsei University in South Korea.
