A giant meatball made from flesh cultivated using the DNA of an extinct woolly mammoth was unveiled on Tuesday at Nemo, a science museum in the Netherlands.
The mammoth meatball is a one-off and has not been tasted, even by its creators, nor is it planned to be put into commercial production.
A massive meatball made from cultured mammoth meat was unveiled at the Science Museum Nemo in Amsterdam on Tuesday. The makers want to show that eating meat is possible without the climate impact and animal suffering inherent in livestock farming.
The 4,000 years-old meat could be part of the future of food culture, says the Australian startup behind the project.
