Researchers in Japan have created a concrete replacement out of food scraps — and the new compound can be both edible and sweet-smelling...
His earlier research resulted in a technique for combining recycled concrete powder and wood waste to form an improved material through heat pressing. That sparked interest in using other waste products.
“A similar approach can be applied to not only wood, but also to vegetables and fruit, and that is what we did,” he said...
“It is said that one-third of food is wasted in the whole world.”

It holds its original smell,” said Sakai. “You can smell orange if you make samples from oranges.”

That's the whole point of such envirofreak schemes. They think humans are here to serve nature.

No kidding-and here in the boonies, if you built with that edible concrete, you could come home from work to find that your barn, garage, etc is damaged and falling down because the foundation is being snacked on by everything from raccoons to deer-and wild hogs rooting it up and eating the pieces...
In this household, all veggie and fruit scraps get put out daily for the deer and other critters-nothing goes to waste here...
That is for certain-and imagine a house built on an edible concrete foundation-the 1st time we had a Winter like the last one-with all that snow and frigid weather-the local rats would collapse your house in a couple of days by eating the foundation-even an army of cats wouldn’t stop them...
Old fruitcake would fit the bill.
