Moon cakes filled with lab-grown meat will go on sale in China for the first time in September.

The product was developed by a lab team from the Beijing Technology and Business University.

There are two kinds of artificial meat:One is vegan meat made mainly from bean protein(蛋白质), the other is real meat grown from animal stem cells(干细胞).

The artificial meat stuffed in these moon cakes is plant-based, which has low environmental costs and can reduce wasting animal husbandry resources. It is also suitable for people with high blood sugar, high blood pressure or high blood fats to eat, according to the researchers.

The artificial meat aims to imitate(模仿)real animal meat in these aspects:color, smell, taste, texture and sound, said LI Jian, who leads the university lab team. Many people don't understand the sound component(部分), Li said. "When we stir-fry sliced meat or deep-fry fish, the meat will produce an appetizing crackling sound.
