A team of Japanese scientists has developed a way to make and sell a type of ice cream that does not melt, capitalizing on a discovery made accidentally by a chef. Most ice cream starts melting just moments after it is scooped from a container and placed into a bowl or on a cone. Because of this, people have taken to eating it quickly. But now that may change, as a team in Japan has found a way to maintain the shape of ice cream no matter how slowly it is eaten.
The ice cream reportedly came about by mistake after a chef in Japan was asked to find a way to use strawberries grown in areas impacted by the earthquake and tsunami back in 2011—they wouldn't grow in a normal shape, so customers wouldn't buy them. The chef tried to use the strawberries in other ways, and at one point, complained that they caused cream to solidify. Hearing of the complaint, a team at Kanazawa University took a closer look and discovered that a compound called polyphenol in the strawberries was responsible for solidifying the cream. The extract, they found, makes it difficult for water and oil to separate, which is what occurs in regular ice cream. They tried mixing it with ice cream and found it would prevent the ice cream from melting.
Because the extract is completely natural, it did not require testing by health inspectors—instead, it was made available to local shop owners who gladly began selling the ice cream in prepressed shapes on sticks or forms to customers who were more than happy to try it.

Makes sense, I suppose this never-melt ice cream now also comes in nightshade flavor?
>>
>>9346256
Ice cream manufacturers have been doing stuff like this for ages :

Being able to use natural ingredients to do it is nice for marketing though.

All ice cream is foamy now unless you make it at home. The overrun in modern ice cream is beyond measure.
>>

Oddly enough, I made some black nighshade ice cream last fall. It was fucking godly delicious. I didn't grow any black nightshade this year, but I have tons of other berries ready to go.

There is this great natural extract you can make from apple seeds or almonds that would add a nice bitter flavor to add to that too. ;)

Can it be counted as natural when it was being Fukushima'ed?
>>
>>9346256
what if it isnt the strawberry polyphenol but radiation instead?

fucking lying bamboo niggers, they didn't discover a goddamn thing

That's no longer ice cream. That's chalk.

A couple brands are still okay. Haagen-Dazs and Talenti are decent enough, but anything else has thickeners and too much air in it making it feel like a solidified piece of what happens when a kid blows bubbles in their glass of milk.

>>9346478
Don't do it. It'll produce mustard gas.
>>
>>9346408
Just buy local brands for a couple bucks more
