G+_George Kozi Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Why? So that vegetarians can make an omelette?? Originally shared by Hashem Al-Ghaili First artificial meat from stem cells, and now artificial eggs from plants… “Working with botanists, biochemists and food scientists, Hampton Creek Foods, a San Francisco-based food lab, has invented what is being called the world's first plant-based egg substitute. Called Beyond Eggs, the artificial egg is made entirely from plants and its creators believe it could hold the solution to both better health and an improved farming industry."

G+_Jeremiah Burns Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 George Kozi "along with health benefits of lowering cholesterol, the product is flavoursome, good for the environment and your hip pocket too." Additionally, there are people allergic to eggs, to whom this would no doubt be an interesting product. Then there are, of course, vegetarians or vegans, or people who generally are interested in substituting healthier options into their diets. There's a huge market for products such as these.

G+_Blake DeVoss Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It's not just about allergies or dietary preferences either. Plants are a lot more efficient to grow and maintain than animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
