Technological progress does not stand still, and cooking is no exception. What will the food of the future be like? What are the world’s leading chefs already working on? While these dishes are categorized as experimental, they scare away many, but they are of interest to many.
Printed food
3-D printers can already reproduce very useful things – they are used in medicine, in households. If you use food ingredients instead of plastic, you get completely edible dishes – fresh and healthy. And kitchen appliances will be completely optional.
Fish substitutes
They are also trying to replace fish and seafood with the help of synthetic raw materials; they are actively looking for a replacement, equal in composition and usefulness. For example, American scientists have created fish fillets from the muscle tissue of goldfish and the blood serum of embryos of calves. Shrimp meat was also synthesized based on seaweed tissue. It sounds unappetizing, but experimentation is reassuring.
Insect food
Insect food is nothing new and is very popular in Asian cuisine. The meat of dragonflies, beetles, spiders, larvae and other brothers is rich in protein and is inexpensive. Of course, for us such food is exotic, but in processed form, many agree to try pasta made from insect flour and other experimental ingredients.
Algae
Algae have long been eaten – red and brown. But microscopic algae were taken as a basis for creating foods rich in carbohydrates, proteins and fats. They contain a record amount of omega-3 fatty acids, and therefore are considered very beneficial for the human body. So, flour based on this type of algae and flour products based on it have already been created.
GMO products
The well-known and very controversial genetically modified organisms have already burst into our lives. The work of breeders makes it possible to develop new types of plants that are resistant to diseases and pests, of higher quality and healthier. The cultivation of GMO products significantly reduces the cost of them and increases the volume of the harvested crop.
Because of the heated debate over the possible harm of GMO foods to the human body, they are avoided, but no evidence of harm has yet been found. Perhaps there is a great future behind this area of science.
