How can you use your body to produce food?

About the project

2022

Food design

This was a study on how to use your own body to produce food.

For fermenting vegetables you only need salt. Salt is also present in sweat.

 

The avarage person sweats 1/1.5 liters per hour

This sweat contains  0,38gr of salt per liter on avarage

To ferment 1kg of vegetables you need 15 gr of salt

Meaning that you need 40 hours worth of sweat to ferment 1 kg of vegetables (0.3×40=15,2).

 

The end result is a conceptual corset that is used to ferment vegetables with your own sweat.
