Forgot about that container of yogurt in the back of the fridge? A bag of granola lost in the pantry? A glance at the expiration date might tell you that it’s time to toss it, but in fact, “expired” food might still be perfectly safe and enjoyable to eat. Heeding expiration dates often causes us […]
Some of the most breathtaking and specialized wine regions in the world are also the most challenging to maintain. Vineyards in these areas are part of what is known as “heroic viticulture,” meaning the grapes are grown in extreme environments, such as altitudes of 1,640 feet or more above sea level, on slopes of 30 […]
Sophie’s BioNutrients, a food tech company, has developed a vegan ice cream made from chlorella protein concentrate, a product made from microalgae. The algae-based ice cream is nutritious, providing B12 and iron as well as other nutrients in each serving. The company collaborated with Danish Technological Institute (DTI) to develop the ice cream, which is […]
Bees need flowers for food, and flowers need bees to pollinate them, so it is of vital importance that bees emerge from their nests at the same time as plants are flowering each year. A new study led by researchers from the UK’s University of Reading has found that human-induced climate change is causing warmer […]
Originally native to Eurasia and Africa, honeybees were brought to North America in the 17th century, according to Phys.org. For centuries, they flourished, until colony collapse disorder, along with habitat loss, pesticide use, diseases, invasive species and climate change caused their numbers to decline. In a new study, Dillon J. Travis and Joshua R. Kohn, […]

You could have your sustainable, vegan gelato and eat it, too, with the development of a gelato product made from a unique protein derived from just microbes, air and water. Solar Foods, a food-technology company based in Helsinki, Finland, is behind the dessert, which is making its debut in Singapore. The vegan gelato is made […]
Vegan cheese is about to get a breakthrough. Climax Foods, a biotechnology company based in California, discovered a plant-based version of casein with the help of artificial intelligence. The findings could contribute to vegan cheeses with better melting properties. The company uncovered a plant-based protein that performs similarly to casein. Casein is a dairy-based protein […]
