From liquid nitrogen popcorn to helium-filled apple balloons, celebrity Chefs love to experiment with technology in their kitchens.

A woman in the UK has come up with a way for such Chefs to print their own organic fruit in whatever taste, shape, size, and texture they want.

It’s a 3D Printer, and while we’ve seen several of these lately, this is the one Microsoft has decided to invest heavily in.

The inventor is Vaiva Kalnikaite and her 3D printer uses liquid droplets to create “organic fruits on-demand”.

She says “Our 3D fruit printer will open up new possibilities not only to professional chefs but also to our home kitchens – allowing us to enhance and expand our dining experiences. We have re-invented the concept of fresh fruit on demand.”
