But when I discovered a London-based project turning discarded chicken feathers into edible proteins, I admit I was skeptical.
The company behind the project, Kera Protein Ltd., has a unique approach to its lab-produced protein product.
Since then, he and his business partner, Tom Washington, have delved into the issue of waste management - focusing particularly on chicken feathers.
To make the food we tried, Kera extracted feathers from discarded chicken carcasses in partnership with a local farm.
“We hope to revolutionize the way people view chicken feathers, demonstrating their potential as a valuable resource rather than just a dirty by-product.”
