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 that’s left to do is pop it in your mouth. Rutzerveld’s 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 Rutzerveld’s website. (via Dezeen)

Well that is pretty interesting I am/was ignorant to this whole concept of printing food. I need to read more into this but from what I read I don't really see the benefits besides speeding up the "designing" part? If anyone more knowledgeable would share some of that knowledge it would be nice. XD

Hi Forumcoinzzz,

I have seen about this in my facebook page, so I have opened the link and posted the details what I read in that link.

edible soil

That's a new one on me. Do you know what the soil is actually made from?

[ksridharprasad]

Hi Fergal,

Thanks for the response, Just I shared the information. I have seen that article in facebook, I do not know about the soil.

Really interesting . I am hearing this news for the first time

[JordanDD]

Wow :O that is awesome !! Have you ever heard of guns made of 3D printers ??? That is incredible ! Never use a gun, but it sound awesome

Hope to try this after hearing from this site, interesting

Hi Narayanan Srinivasan,

When you try this type of food, please share your experience with us.

I don't know if I would try this one because everything that has to do with food becomes very sensitive to me how safe is it anyway never heard about it

Hmm, I have read a lot of things we can do when we 3D print certain items but it never occurred to me we can 3D print something and eat it later!

These look like wild mushrooms.

They don't look appetizing at all.

The investor obviously needs to do much research into this issue.

3D printers are now a reality but like Fergal the 'soil' is what makes me curious.

Just how healthy is this concept also remains to be seen. Humans contradict themselves years after years.
