Produced from air, water, electricity and microbes by Finnish startup Solar Foods, the substance can be used to make anything from bread to pasta. It had its first official tasting after the city-state approved the sale of products containing the ingredient last October.
It doesn't look particularly appetizing - a mustard yellow-hued powder with the texture of starch - but the ingredient that made its global debut in Singapore on Thursday is being touted as the latest breakthrough in food technology.

The powder itself resembles turmeric and tastes like a light, nutty mix of cashews and almonds. It's 65% to 70% protein, 5% to 8% fat and has a composition similar to that of dried soy or algae.
