Steakholder Foods reveals the world’s first 3D-printed eel, made possibly using the company’s precision layering and a unique combination of materials in the company’s proprietary 3D printing technology.
Currently, this 3D-printed eel is based on plant materials, but they expect to include cultivated eel cells in the future, once economies of scale allow for price-competitive cell development. The unique printing process enables Steakholder Foods to significantly reduce the amount of ingredients used in its 3D printed product relative to typical plant-based alternatives.
