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.
