Abalone
Food .comAbalone shell is interesting in that as it is the outer shell of the living being, it offers protection to the creature, but the truly interesting thing is not that, it is the fact that humans now are seeking to copy the very molecular structure of the abalone shell itself so that we might develop the ultimate armored vest. We eat the meat out of the abalone shell to make our insides stronger, benefiting from the rich vitamin and mineral content in its’ flesh, and many times not even for that but for the thrill of trying something new.
Even as we remain largely ignorant as to the properties not only of abalone shell, its’ structure, and potential use as a powerful medicine, but also of the animal as a food source that can help us to lead healthier lives, we seek the answer to what makes the abalone shell so strong in the hopes that we can use this knowledge so that in case someone tries to shoot us, we might survive. Abalone shell was once admired for its’ beauty and for being a powerful spiritual aid. Now we see it as the answer to creating the ultimate bullet-proof vest.
