Scientists have created a hybrid product from beef and rice

Biomolecular engineers at Yonsei University in Seoul have invented a hybrid product from beef and rice. To do this, scientists took stem cells from the muscles and fat of the mole and transplanted them directly into the rice grains, because the stem cells are capable of self-renewal, the formation of new cells, mitosis or is divisible by 'li. Hybrid rice was grown in a Petri dish for 9-11 days.

The pink color of the resulting product is not very appetizing. It contains 8 percent more protein and 7 percent more fat than regular rice.

Artifical food ?!

Imagine that now we can get all the nutrients we need from artificially grown protein rice. "In fact, rice itself has a high nutritional value, but by transplanting livestock cells, we can achieve better results," says Sohyon Pak, a biomolecular engineer.

According to calculations, 100 g of protein produces 6.27 kg of carbon dioxide when creating hybrid rice. For beef, this indicator is 49.89 kg per 100 gr. The price of hybrid rice for consumers is about 15% of the price of 1 kg of beef.

The unusual taste and aroma of rice can be interesting for novice cooks to experiment with.

Korean scientists have big plans to start selling this product. Currently, research is being conducted to improve the production process.

I did not expect that the cells transplanted into the rice would grow well. Through this experience, I see the future of hybrid foods. "Such products can help people suffering from hunger and even become food for pilots in space," says the engineer.
