No need to cut them up, just pop out sticks.
Comment on 3D-printed carrot does not rely on large areas of land or maintenance costs, can be cheaper

Why would I want my lab-grown carrots to be carrot shaped exactly? As someone who eats quite a lot of carrots, I’d rather have my lab-grown carrots be rectangular-prism shaped for easy stacking.

I’d say a sense of continuity and familiarity. It’d be weird if you’re suddenly told to eat a cube that can fulfill all of your nutritional needs when you’ve been eating foods of variable shapes for so long.

As someone who has diced, julienned, amd sliced thousands of pounds of carrots, let me assure you that most people are not eating carrot shaped carrots.

What, you don’t painstakingly carve mini carrots out of every carrot for dinner? /s

We can make fractal carrot structures with the 3d printing

I will eat the nutri-cube and I will like it. I am proud that we’re finally entering the sci-fi era of this dystopia

My vast disappointment for the conspicuous lack of jetpacks cannot be salved save by nutri-cubes.

I have literally fantasized about the “food cube” that fills nutrional needs for a meal! “What do you want to eat?” will be a question of the past! All you choose to consume is the B̷̛̛̰̮̥͕͓̺̔̽̉̽̃̾ͅã̸̛͍̌̓̊̓̊̆̈́͐̕͝͝r̶̢̺͍̺͓̖͐̂

Soylent or Joylent or whatever is around now isn't good enough for you? ;P

We’ve had nutri-cubes for a long time now. These are actually pretty good, IMO.

Cutting them changes their flavor. They’re not as good when you cut them.
SaintWacko@midwest.social 11 months ago
That makes zero sense.
…it’s absolutely true, though. Carrots are so much better eaten wholeI_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They do oxidize a bit when you cut them. They just don’t turn brown like apples and potatoes. It makes them more bitter.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Different parts of the carrot taste different. The “core” tastes different to the outer part. So by cutting it up you often change the ratio between those two tastes

And better packing capabilities. Takes less room, fits more in a box = saving on transportation.

IIRC, freight companies tend to charge based on weight rather than size. That’s why designs for square liquid bottles have never taken off.

Good luck inserting a rectangular-prism up your butthole.
