I have never been called for jury duty.

I get a box of eclaires, my fishing tackle and go trawling.

I'm bound to get one of them. Poor bastards probably haven't had sugar since the 80's.

Ikea-like pasta is the Earth-friendly food of the future

Researchers have designed a pasta noodle that can be flat-packed, like Ikea furniture, and then spring to life in water -- all while decreasing packaging waste.

This is not the first time this team of researchers has attempted to design a more streamlined and flatter pasta. But they write in the new study that their previous approach had fallen short on demonstrating exactly how to reliably recreate a morphing pasta noodle. In this newest rendition, they were looking to set this record straight.

“Surface grooves [were] introduced [in our previous work] for morphing flour-based food, since this works with a single material and simple manufacturing method,” write the authors. “However, the previous study did not explain the underlining morphing mechanism and relied heavily on experimental trial and error for the morphing design.”

WHY DOES IT MATTER — If we already have flat pasta shapes like lasagna or fettucini, what’s the benefit of developing new, flat-packed pasta’s too? According to the researchers, this method could allow consumers to continue consuming their favorite 3D shapes (from twisted to fusilli to perhaps even novel shapes like cascatelli) all while putting a dent into the amount of plastic used to ship this pasta around the world.

According to the EPA, food packaging waste is a major contributor to landfills in the U.S., and with their new packaging method — which allows for closely stacked pasta — the researchers estimate that the amount of packaging needed could be reduced by 60 percent.
