Sustainable food habit is a trending term in the global food industry. Over the years, we have seen people making mindful shifts to healthy diet choices, intending to reduce carbon footprints significantly. That's not all.
Several scientists are constantly experimenting with revolutionising how the world eats. One such recent revelation is the "meaty rice", grown in a small laboratory in Seoul. According to a report in the AFP, a team of South Korean scientists is developing a unique rice variety by infusing grains with protein cells, aiming to provide the world with a more sustainable source of protein.
The report further reads that the scientists have confirmed that no animals were harmed in the process of creating the dish.

It is considered an eco-friendly, ethical and sustainable way for people to get their protein.
What makes it unique is the faint buttery aroma due to beef muscles and fat cells and the beautiful pink hue. Speaking about the innovation, the scientists told AFP that by using cultured meat, people can obtain animal protein without "the slaughter of livestock". Alongside, rice makes a natural and popular source of protein for many people across Asia (and the world).
