Edible Orange Juice

by Barry Lewis

Ingredients

Sodium alginate

Calcium lactate

Have you ever wanted to eat orange juice out of your own hand? Or perhaps try making an edible water bottle? Well, I thought this would be a fun task. Simply grab some sodium alginate, calcium lactate and a few bowls and sieves and this ‘should’ be possible! Well, it didn’t start very well at all, I think edible hot chocolate will be a follow up another time… but, we made a thing, I don’t know if it’s a thing i’d like to make again, but it was a fun food science thing and I learnt a bit too. So here’s edible orange juice something I can safely tick off the bucket list.
