http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/03/edible-growth-3d-printed-living-food-that-grows-before-you-eat-it/Edible Growth is an ongoing project by Eindhoven-based food designer Chloé Rutzerveld that blends food, gardening, and 3d printing. The concept involves a specially printed outer casing made from dough that contains edible soil and various seeds. Once printed, it takes a few days for the seeds and mushrooms to germinate after which they start to poke out of the small holes on top. All thats left to do is pop it in your mouth. Rutzervelds design is currently just a concept and would involve several years of research, namely around 3d printing technology and issues of food safety. Regardless, it seems like the rest of the project would be fun just to try at home for the sake of novelty. You can read more about Edible Growth on Rutzervelds website. (via Dezeen)
