(ETH) – Israeli alternative-meat startup Redefine Meat, and many other contenders are working on the release of “3-D Printed Steaks” The company is reportedly not focusing on alternatives to ground beef or sausages, but whole-cut steaks.
“There is an amazing industry of alternative meat that is focused on minced meat. And actually the meat industry is driven by the whole-muscle cuts,” CEO Eshchar Ben-Shitrit told Reuters. “Steaks, roast, slow cooking, grilling — everything that an animal can do we want to do the same or even better.”
The CEO is said to be focused on creating industrial-level 3D printers that would ultimately be sold to meat distributors around the World and become part of the meat supply chain. Ben-Shitrit stated “The idea is to replace a cow. So each of our machines produces in a day exactly like a cow, up to 250 [kilograms] in a single day,”
This Faux meat trumps on being significantly better for the environment, requiring less water and energy and releasing fewer fossil fuels than livestock, and the CEO calls it “the best way to fight climate change, to deliver healthier solutions and food to the entire population of the planet.”
The plan is to have 3D-printed steaks competitive to traditional prices of steaks which can range from $5 to $12 per pound. So are you ready to sink your teeth in one of these delicious “3-D Steaks”?
