Carrots made by printer win prize - 20th November 2023

Two university students just won a prize. It's for making carrots!

The carrots taste good. And they're healthy to eat. But the two students used a machine - a 3D printer.

The students were in a competition in Qatar. The competition was for business ideas. The winners were Mohammad Annan and Lujain Al Mansoori. They won $6,800.

They used special technology. Making food with 3D printers isn't new. But these scientists used ultraviolet (UV) light. This makes the process quick.

The students worked in a laboratory. First, they developed the vegetable cells. The cells are the printer's 'ink'. They put the ink into the printer. Then, the machine builds the cells into a carrot.

These carrots are cheap too. They cost less than normal carrots.

Qatar is a desert. Without rain, the country has to buy fresh food. Printing food might help.

And, for poor countries, it could be the answer.
