South Korean Scientists Develop 'Meaty Rice' to Revolutionize Protein Consumption

A Seoul lab injects cultured beef cells into rice grains to create a high-protein, eco-friendly food source.

  • 'Meaty rice' contains 8% more protein and 7% more fat than regular rice.
  • The process uses cultured beef cells without harming animals.
  • Potential applications include famine relief and space missions.
  • South Korea is investing in food technology but has not yet approved cultivated meat for consumption.
  • The method significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional beef production.
