Students from Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and the Netherlands’ Wageningen University have won the top prize of AUD$3,000 (US$1,900) at the ProVeg Food Innovation Challenge 2024 for their self-heating plant-based “Hanwoo beef” rice box. CJ Foods, a Korea-based food company, set the task of creating Hanwoo beef, a rare and expensive beef cut. The food box features “beef” made from textured pea protein as well as rice and vegetables.
