Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem. They report a new plant-based plastic made from cellulose, the world’s most abundant organic compound. The new plastic is strong, flexible, and capable of rapid decomposition in natural environments, setting it apart from other plastics marketed as biodegradable.
Wtf kind of corn are you eating that it tastes awful? It’s nowhere near my favorite food but sign me up for some corn on the cob or Mexican street corn any day of the summer
Sorry maybe not awful per se, but tastes neutral, whole kernels get bits between the teeth and you have to floss after. Experience is less than mid but people claim it’s like an orgasm in your mouth. Same thoughts about steak, or Batman movies.
Yeah… Not liking steak really was a frustrating experience growing up there. Similar experience I’m sure with other food stuff: “you just haven’t had it prepared right” said 50th+ person who wants to cook me a medium rare steak with salt and pepper, oiled, over a charcoal barbeque only to be middling flavor, terribly chewy and get stuck between teeth.
Pro tip! Mom had bad teeth so she’d stand the cob on end and cut the kernels off. Takes a few tries to figure the cut depth just right. Best of both worlds, fresh corn and no stuck bits!
But i could eat flavorful beans or lentils or berries. This corn, even off the cob, has wasted space on my plate. It is better made into proper corn foods like corn bread or tortillas.
Well it tastes awful so it’s nice they found a use for it.
