Hybrid rice rich in protein

civil: Scientists planted beef cells in rice grains Successfully experimented with growing cheap and eco-friendly food.

Researchers at South Korea’s Yonsei University say they have grown beef rice that could provide a less expensive protein-based diet while also reducing carbon emissions.

The scientists said that in producing 100 grams of protein, hybrid rice emits a little less than 6.27 kilograms of carbon dioxide, while the same amount of beef produces 49.9 kilograms of carbon dioxide.

Scientists said that plain rice sells for $2.20 per kg, while beef costs $14.88 per kg. But if this hybrid rice is sold in the market, this food will be available for $2.23.

Talking about the nutrition and taste of this hybrid food, scientists said that the hybrid rice grown by them has eight percent more protein and seven percent more fat than normal rice.

“We usually get our protein from livestock, but raising livestock consumes a huge amount of resources and water, and emits a large amount of greenhouse gas,” said Soohyun Park from Jamia.

“Imagine we get all the ingredients from these hybrid rice,” he added. Rice already contains high amounts of nutrients, but the addition of cattle cells can further increase the nutritional value.
