South Korean scientists create "meaty rice" with cultured beef cells for an eco-friendly, animal-free protein source.

South Korean scientists are developing a unique rice variety, called "meaty rice," that contains cultured beef cells. This creation aims to provide an eco-friendly and ethical source of protein. Injecting beef muscle and fat cell culture into individual rice grains, the scientists have created a dish that looks like regular rice but has a faint buttery aroma and a pink hue. The process does not harm animals and offers a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources.
