3D Printed Snacks

5:18:00 PM

Some of my friends mentioned this project at dinner last night, and I think that it is really neat! Chloe Rutzerveld is a "freelance food & concept designer" who developed the project she calls "Edible Growth," which are 3D-printed snacks containing seeds, spores, and yeast that sprout over several days before reaching their final state. Apparently, the flavor grows along with the organisms, making an artistic and delicious result. Rutzerveld suggests that 3D printing could be a way to cut down the transport of food and the amount of land needed to produce food in the future. I found the project intriguing and beautiful. I think it is a very imaginative combination of technology and natural processes!
