Using tea and coffee to dye paper and also to paint with can be fun. I used card stock and regular strength coffee and tea. First I soaked the papers in water with some alum dissolved in it for a few hours. After they dried I soaked some in tea and some in coffee for a few hours. The tea made a warm brown and the coffee was grayer. When I painted with each, however, you can see that the colors look very similar. Have you tried this? Am hoping to work with more plant based inks and dyes over the next few weeks I find it takes a lot of time, space, and energy as you have to keep heating things…. #plantbased #plantbaseddye #plantbasedink #coffee #tea #dyedpaper #naturalink https://www.instagram.com/p/CbnU3zELBFJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Redefine meat: 3-D printed plant-based steaks

Israel’s Redefine Meat Ltd is set on taking plant-based meat to the next level: steaks, briskets, and fillets.

As alternative-protein sales soar companies are looking to other products to cater to the rising number of conscious vegetarians. Redefine’s target enter steak houses in Israel, Europe and Asia. Their products are a fac-simile of beef products: a plant-based ink is injected in a 3D printer creating a very similar experience.

“We want to change the belief that delicious meat can only come from animals. We have all the building blocks in place to make this a reality.”— Chief Executive Officer Eshchar Ben-Shitrit

The company claims it can deliver a complex layer of muscle and fat using plant-based ingredients, hopefully they can nail the taste too.

Meanwhile the startup has already raiseed $29M to begin large-scale pilot factory and sales later this year. We’re curious to try these tender prints for ourselves.
