Soya plus cow cells makes artificial beef with a meaty texture

摘要

LAB-grown "beef" is being made by culturing cow muscle cells within a spongy scaffold of soya bean protein. Prototypes of this cultured meat have passed initial taste tests, says developer Shulamit Levenberg at Aleph Farms in Ashdod, Israel. The idea behind cultured beef is that it could be as tasty as real meat without any animals having to be killed. It may also be better for the environment, although this isn't clear.
