Lard is a favorite dish of many people, especially in Russia and other CIS countries. But what if you found out that the lard you eat is not real? Scientists at the University of Oklahoma in the United States have developed artificial lard that is indistinguishable from the real thing.
The artificial lard was created using 3D printing and biotechnology. Scientists used fat and proteins from plant and animal sources to create a product that has the same texture and taste as real lard. This means that people who are health-conscious or do not consume animal products can now enjoy the taste of lard without harming their health.
The creation of artificial lard could have significant implications for the food industry. It can be used as a substitute for real lard in a variety of products such as sausages, frankfurters and other meat products. It could lead to a decrease in the consumption of animal products and improve human health.
But it’s not all that simple. There are concerns that the creation of artificial lard could lead to less demand for real lard and, as a result, fewer livestock farmers. This could negatively affect the economy and employment in agriculture.
Nevertheless, the creation of artificial tallow is a huge step forward in the development of biotechnology and the creation of products that can be beneficial for the health of people and the planet as a whole.
