Imagine growing your own snacks…I’m not talking about carrots and apples, I mean printing out a product looking nugget with nutritious little sprouts covering the bite-sized morsel. ‘Edible Growth’ is an ongoing project by Chloé Rutzerveld that does just that. The project involves a 3D printer that creates an outer casing made from dough made of “edible soil” embedded with various seeds. It just takes a few days for the seeds and mushrooms to germinate and then the home-grown snack is ready for consumption.
For now, Rutzerveld’s project is just a concept and would require a few years of research into printing technologies and food safety. Read more about this fascinating endeavor and follow it through its progression on Rutzerveld’s website.
