More Blood, Please! 3To make the blood into food, the scientists first separated blood into its main parts: red cells, which carry oxygen; white cells, which fight infection; platelets, which help blood form clots; and plasma (the liquid part of blood). Then the scientists tested each part as an ingredient in various recipes. They found that plasma could be heated and then spiked with bacteria. The result? Blood “yogurt.” In another recipe, they concocted a paste of red blood cells and substituted it for cocoa butter to make blood “chocolate.”
