Meaty rice developed by growing animal cells inside grains
Move over lab-grown chicken. Scientists developed a hybrid beef rice by growing animal muscle and fat cells inside rice grains.
Recently, Korean scientists have created cultured beef rice by growing animal muscle and fat cells inside rice grains.
In the study, published Wednesday in the journal Matter, researchers coated rice with fish gelatin, a safe and edible ingredient that helps cells latch onto the rice better. Cow muscle and fat stem cells were then seeded into the rice and left to culture in a petri dish for 9 to 11 days.
