Impossible Foods’ next product is sausage
[ad_1] The sausage ingredients are only mildly different to the burger’s. The key flavoring still comes from “heme” — the blood-like soy leghemoglobin which the company touts as its secret sauce — but in smaller quantities. The potato protein from the burger has been removed, which the company says gives the meat a bouncier texture. […]
Impossible Foods’ rising empire of almost-meat
[ad_1] Impossible’s appearance may have taken some attendees by surprise. But the company consistently makes use of the most utopian ways Silicon Valley sells itself — optimized, transparent, engineered, rational — to set itself apart from being a processed-food company, with the potentially bad rep that entails. The tech ethos runs right through the organization. […]
Amazon is backing Uber Eats rival Deliveroo in the UK
[ad_1] Amazon’s restaurant delivery service launched in the US in 2014 and eventually made its way to London in 2016. While it only lasted a couple of years in the UK, it’s clear that the company still believes there’s money to be made in the food delivery industry. According to British organization Sky News, Amazon […]
Making a pickle-infused cake, for science
[ad_1] A whipping siphon sounds like a complicated tool, but in reality it’s pretty simple: It’s a canister that aerates various liquids. A small cartridge of gas called a charger pressurizes the interior of the canister, forcing some of the gas into the liquid inside. That changes the composition of the liquid, transforming it into […]
Firefox extensions stopped working for a while
[ad_1] Add-onmageddon 2.0Firefox disabled all add-ons because a certificate expired If you use Firefox or Tor, you may have noticed a weird error message and a sudden lack of working extensions. That’s because on Friday evening ET (midnight UTC/GMT) a certificate necessary to sign add-ons for the browser expired, making them suddenly invalid for use. […]
Meal kits might be better for the planet than a trip to the store
[ad_1] The difference is in the amount of food waste meal kits prevent. While grocery store meals have less packaging per meal, more food has to be purchased and that leads to higher household food waste. It turns out all the cardboard and plastic wrap involved isn’t as bad for the environment as the extra […]
The ‘Chef’s Table’ team is making non-fiction shows for Disney+
[ad_1] Marvel 616 (that’s the working title) is an anthology documentary show that ties Marvel’s comic book universe and its creators to their historical and cultural contexts. Disney didn’t provide an example, but Spider-Man‘s focus on a flawed, more nuanced character might be a good candidate. The other show, Earthkeepers (also a working title), is […]
Postmates cuts its delivery fee if you join a group order
[ad_1] Postmate’s delivery fee ranges from $3.99 to $5.99, so omitting it could be a powerful driver for those who see the surcharge as a wasteful expense. Drivers with multiple orders could mean longer waits, but some may see the savings as worth the inconvenience. It’s unclear how omitting the delivery fee will impact Postmate […]
FDA removes restrictions on genetically modified salmon
[ad_1] FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb stressed that the genetic changes had been deemed safe for the animal, safe to eat and wouldn’t have a “significant” impact on the environment. AquaBounty’s modifications use DNA from other fish to grow salmon at a faster rate, raising concerns about contamination. However, they’re also bred to be female and […]
