2. So cook it in a little olive oil--that's fat, but it's better for ya!

I'll admit I didn't watch that one hour video...too long. I did look at some of the other pages, though.



How does it taste?
We expect it to taste like a normal beef burger. Accepted food technology methods will be/have been used to adapt the beef’s taste and texture so that it is virtually identical to farmed beef.


When will Cultured Beef be available to buy?
Of course it is hard to predict this sort of thing, but we might see Cultured Beef, and other cultured meats, available commercially within 10 to 20 years.

How much did this burger cost?
The burger cost more than €250,000 to produce as this is still very novel science, but high costs today are a small price to pay for the potential future benefits of Cultured Beef to all of mankind. It is important to remember that Cultured Beef is intended as step towards a solution to some pressing problems in global food production, not just an expensive burger. In the long run Cultured Beef could be cheaper than conventionally farmed beef, and certainly better for the environment.
