I'm eating the food of the future 3D printed food and vegan dairy products are just a couple of the
10 foods that prove the future's already here hey nice to meet you fake meat wait it's fake
meat has traditionally been considered one of the foundations of a complete diet because it's
a great source of complete proteins a Hallmark of a society becoming more advanced and more
wealthy is the availability of meat to the average person so-called veggie patties have been around
for decades and are made with a wide range of ingredients including beans rice mushrooms and
quinoa the more recent fake meat movement is a different thing altogether because the makers are
explicitly trying to make products that can fool you into thinking you're eating actual meat food
yeah beyond meat is one of the companies making fake meat its burgers are made with ingredients
like pea protein canola oil cocoa butter potato starch and beet juice to try to mimic the reddish
color of beef try as they might the list of ingredients probably isn't going to fill most beef
lovers into thinking they're eating a real Burger so if beyond meat isn't futuristic enough there's
a company called Memphis meat that is working on the molecular level to create cells that
will result in a meat-like substance consumers might hesitate to eat lab-grown meat unless it
passes the taste test but this is the meat of the future bug hunt bug had a bug on me most of us
have heard survival stories where people were lost in the wilderness and had to eat various
kinds of insects to survive had to and survive are both key here because most people in their
right mind wouldn't choose to eat cockroaches and beetles unless they were in a survival situation
futuristic Marines in the 1986 sci-fi movie Aliens complain about being sent on another bug hunt but
at least they weren't expected to eat what they found insects make up a huge percentage of the
planet's life forms and it's often hard to avoid flies and ants and assorted creepy crawlies so
it's not like you'd have much trouble finding bugs to eat it's actually very easy some companies have
been thinking about how to Market bugs to make them seem less disgusting and more appealing
some food experts believe bugs are the next big food Innovation with choices like crickets and
grasshoppers being prominent additions to your menu there are already a handful of products that
include bugs in the list of ingredients pastas and energy bars which flaw give these Foods a higher
protein content school children in the Netherlands are being fed mealworms instead of meatballs in
an effort to cut down on beef consumption and this trend can be coming to a cafeteria near you
license to print food you even have a license people say it would be great to have an idea or
a business that amounts to giving them a license to print money 3D printing also called additive
manufacturing is fairly new technology that allows you to create three-dimensional objects
from digital files using it to make food is one of many interesting applications some of the most
common printed foods are candies and chocolates but the possibilities are quickly growing redefine
meat and novameat are two companies using 3D printing technology to make plant-based foods
that are meant to look and taste like meat Nova meat is a Spanish company that has been working
hard to create 3D printed plant-based steak that can replace the real thing I highly doubt that the
company boasts that it has developed a technique to create a fibrous texture of meat that is
usually lacking in meat substitutes flavor Aroma texture and overall appearance are all factors
in the appeal of meat it remains to be seen if Technologies like 3D printing can convince meat
lovers to make a sweat Pizza Lovers on the other hand probably won't need much convincing to try
a 3D printed pepperoni with extra cheese there are still a few Kings to work out before there's
a 3D printing pizza shop near you but get ready because it's coming soon coffee gummies made of
gummies why that hot cup of morning coffee is an important ritual for many people but this might be
about to change because coffee gummies are one of the foods that prove the future is already
here coffee in the form of gummies is certainly not a convenient way to get your caffeine fakes
but will people want to trade the hot liquid with cream and sugar or their straight up cup of black
coffee for a handful of gumdrops for many coffee drinkers those first few sips of the hot beverage
are a welcome part of the day they look forward to it doesn't seem like a brown Cube even if it
tastes good is a realistic replacement for an actual cup of Morning Joe so you think you can
just replace me go cubes are a brand of chewable coffee gummies that provide 50 mg of caffeine two
of these cubes will give you the Boost you get from one cup of coffee these cute you sound like
they would be very convenient if you're on the go and need a caffeine boost and there's no Starbucks
at Duncan to be found science fiction stories commonly depict people in the future eating food
concentrates in the form of pills and tablets that have replaced real food this might look good in
the movies but it would be hard for chewables and pills to replace real burritos burgers and yes a
nice cup of coffee Edibles they're Edibles you just eat them legal substance infused brownies
and gummy bears are not the only Edibles on the market these days get ready to use edible
packaging as part of the drive for eco-friendly Solutions and specifically to a biodegradable
packaging instead of continuing to fill landfills with plastic cardboard and paper you can have a
quick snack and then eat the packaging people will point out that everyone who has eaten an
ice cream cone has tasted edible packaging but a cone doesn't seem like the same thing as what's on
the horizon this is entirely different there are a number of foods being used to develop edible
package including seaweed and a milk protein called casein another idea that actually sounds
pretty good is the effort to make a coffee cup out of hard cookies and chocolate this Kardashian a
new era of a coffee and cookies combo if they can make it work sooner rather than later you could be
eating candy bars with wrappers made from things like potato fibers and rice paper these edible
wrappers make sense from a conversation standpoint but they are also an opportunity to Market these
products as improvements over traditional products better food Through Chemistry better food better
view better TV Molecular Gastronomy investigates the changes food undergoes through cooking this is
a recent discipline created in 1988 by a chemist and a physicist scientific principles are used
to manipulate food in new ways instead of merely cooking an egg in a pan this approach notes that
alcohol has certain effects on an egg and explores them for example an egg is soaked in alcohol for a
period of time to see if the chemical changes the egg undergoes essentially Cooks the egg without
ever putting it in a pan by the early 21st century this discipline sometimes also known
as modernist cuisine started bearing fruit in the form of Creations like deep fried mayonnaise and
noodles made from shrimp instead of flour sounds expensive another thing that has been explored
is using CO2 gas to transform pureed Foods into Foams these tweaks might seem like small potatoes
compared to what is happening in the field of genetically modified organisms but these
are the results of sophisticated ingredients and techniques hydrocolloids are complex substances
used as thickening agents in foods like candy and some frozen foods like ice cream spherification
is a process that combines substances such as some kinds of algae with other ingredients to
form little spheres of food Molecular Gastronomy is the proof the future of food is already here
tuning Forks this sounds like what it is a tuning for Sonic has a well-known fast food
chain known for its Carside servers and colorful drinks but this is about using the principles of
sound to enhance food sonically infused food might sound like a clever marketing Ploy but
it actually describes an Innovative way of processing and potentially improving certain
foods a study at the University of Oxford found that different tones could affect the
taste of foods some tones could make the foods flavor more bitter and another tone
could make it sweeter it has to be pointed out that the tones did not actually change
the flavor of the foods but changed the way people's brains experience the foods so this
is really a matter of brain manipulation not a new way of preparing Foods in your kitchen
the Oxford study found that low-based sounds made food taste more bitter and high-pitched
sounds make foods taste more sweet a distillery in Jacksonville Florida is using Sonic technology
to age its whiskey Oak chips are added to a batch of whiskey then a low frequency sound
as directed at the whiskey the bombardment of these sound waves causes the wood chips
to vibrate the agitation of the chips and whiskey ages alcohol much faster than the
traditional method waiting for the process to take its course over several years according
to the distilleries using the process one year of Sonic aging is roughly equivalent to five to
seven years of traditional aging Sonic enhanced whiskey if that's not the future then what is
non-dairy Dairy do you have any non-dairy creamer the typical non-dairy creamers that come in the
form of liquids or powders draw attention to themselves by using non in the name because
they're telling you what they aren't instead of what they are what they aren't as actual
Dairy just like an emerging group of vegan dairy products that try to mimic The Taste and texture
of dairy products like cheese but are entirely plant-based vegan cheeses made using Alternatives
like soya and almond milk a bacterial culture is added just like when making real cheese that
separates the proteins in the milk thickeners such as Tapioca And arrowroot are added to
the vegan milk to help achieve a texture that is similar to cheese made with 12 real cheese vegan
cheese is aged to improve flavor and texture just like cheddar and all your other cheesy favorites
you can get more than vegan cheeses because companies are offering plant-based Butters
and cream vegan dairies often use caches to make these products but some are starting to
use ingredients like hemp instead of nuts it remains to be seen what percentage of dairy
lovers will be willing to switch from regular cheeses and butter to foods made from hemp but
it's one of the foods that prove the future is already here does macaroni and hemp cheese sound
good to you you'll probably have an opportunity to find out sooner than you think Franken food
modified foods that are referred to as a genetically modified organism have sometimes been
derided as Franken food by trying to make this connection with the infamous mad scientists and
his tragic creation some people have tried to do not fear of the technology behind GMOs some people
want you to believe scary foods are being cooked up in dark Laboratories for nefarious purposes
some critics of this technology treat GMOs as a threat to both the consumer's health and also a
threat to Nature itself the truth is much less a monster movie and much more a matter of basic
scientific research in pursuit of better products genetic modification of plants as a common
practice and much of the produce you buy at the supermarket is the result of modifications genetic
modification is a real thing soya beans corn and potatoes are just a few examples of the produce
that have been improved using the technology and the list is quickly getting longer crispr cas9 is
a form of Gene editing technology used extensively today all kinds of improvements are possible such
as extending the shelf life of fruits like bananas and tomatoes given all the recent issues with the
supply chain over the last couple of years it certainly makes sense to try to create foods
that last longer before they spoil the point is GMOs are not Franken foods that should be
shunned but are simply products that reflect some of the latest advancements in agriculture plant
food plant-based oh my God algae is a fairly broad category of tiny organisms that can convert light
energy into chemical energy but otherwise there's a pretty mundane form of life while mundane is a
pretty good descriptor appetizing isn't a word that is usually associated with algae however
there are plenty of people that are working hard to change how you feel about algae it
turns out algae can be a lot more nutritious than you might have guessed with protein carbohydrates
and healthy omega-3 fatty acids are you getting enough fatty acids in your diet hopefully you
were a long way from the excesses of Charlton heston's 1973 movie Soylent green but a company
called Silent nutrition Inc is pushing ahead with using things like algae flour this unconventional
food is being used to increase the nutritional value of certain foods such as energy bars they're
working hard to make algae a significant part of your diet different kinds of algae is being added
to a variety of meat products including steaks hot dogs and sausages fermented dairy products
such as cheese yogurt and cottage cheese are also the recipients of these nutritional organisms
there are many uses for algae so expect to see it more and more in the wide range of
foods pick out another great video then hit that subscribe button and ring that notification Bell
