MAKING Scoby Grow
New Episode with Emma Sicher
Remember that cup of tea you left forgotten on your table for weeks? Don’t worry – you might have created something amazing without even realizing it! Meet the SCOBY – a symbiotic structure made of bacteria and yeast, a true powerhouse of bio-design!
It all starts with nutrients like sugar, liquid, and microorganisms. Gooey, slippery, and full of potential! So what if it could be used to create groundbreaking materials?
Researchers like Emma Sicher are on it. Emma is using local medicinal plants from Krete to nourish her SCOBYs, infusing them with healing properties. Imagine eco-friendly packaging or even health-boosting pills made from slime!
Curious about how Emma creates her SCOBYs, and how beautiful they can look once dried and shaped?
