Not many days have passed when it was found that world's first lab-grown burger has been made. Its tasting has been done and its cultured beef patty has been liked by environmentalists, animal lovers and vegetarians.
The burger wad developed by Mark Post from Maastricht University in the Netherlands. While explaining the process, it has been found that the burger was created by taking a portion of cow muscle that was taken from its shoulder.
Stem cells were then harvested to come up with tiny forms of muscle fibre. It is said that approximately 20,000 strips were created to come up with five-ounce burger.
PETA has liked the activity a lot and has affirmed that it is the first step to come up with meat products that are humanly made. The burger, which has taken two years to develop, is said to cost $325,000.
Though it has been made and has been tested, it is said that it will take years for the burger to reach market. Experts were of the view that if burgers are made in abundance then it can cost $30 per pound.
Some of the experts have been saying that this burger can be counted as kosher burger. Jeff Nathan, Executive Chef at Abigael, said, "Until it's in my hands and I can touch it, smell it and taste it, I don't believe it".
