The artificial burger will be cooked and served for the first time this week
It cost in the region of £250,000 to produce the prototype
The 5oz beef burger is grown from the stem cells of one cow
Creator Professor Mark Post believes the development could help solve problems in the meat industry
The world?s first test-tube burger will be served in London next week. It is made from meat grown in a laboratory, rather than cattle raised in pastures.
And its developers hope it will show how the soaring global demand for protein can be met without the need for vast herds of cattle.
The 5oz ?Frankenburger?, which cost £250,000 to produce, is made from 3,000 tiny strips of meat grown from the stem cells of a cow.
The raw meat is said to be grey with a slippery texture similar to squid or scallop.
