Unusual but true: Cell-grown steak

Cell-grown steak

A company has produced the first cell-grown steak.

Aleph Farms say they are "shaping the future of meat by turning cow cells into beef cuts, replicating the complex shape, texture and flavor of a steak."

The Israeli firm say the first cell-grown minute steak, delivers the full experience of meat with the appearance, shape, and texture of beef cuts.

The food tech startup's new product demonstrates its capabilities for growing different types of natural beef cells isolated from the cow into a fully 3-D structure similar to conventional meat.

The breakthrough not only obtains the true texture and structure of beef muscle tissue steak, but also the flavor and shape, establishing a new benchmark in cell-cultured meat technology.
