"Rice Meets Beef: The Rise of Hybrid Food Innovation"

Scientists at Yonsei University have developed a new hybrid food by growing beef cells inside grains of rice, creating a meaty-rice combination rich in nutrition and potentially easing food production strain. The beef-infused rice, with higher protein and fat content than regular rice, could be a more sustainable and cost-effective source of protein compared to traditional beef, emitting significantly less carbon dioxide. The team aims to refine the production process and explore potential applications such as food relief for famine, military rations, and space food.
