For vegetarians who occasionally crave the taste of meat, it's usually the smell of bacon cooking that's the most difficult to resist.
But soon they will be able to indulge without compromising their ethics, as Oregon State University researchers have patented a new strain of red marine algae called dulse which not only has a "pretty strong bacon flavour" but has "twice the nutritional value of kale".
The algae, which grows incredibly quickly, is usually ground and sold as a powdered cooking ingredient, but researcher Chris Langdon has created a new strain that he believes is better consumed whole.
