Two university students just won a prize.

It's for making carrots!

The carrots taste good.

And they're healthy to eat.

But the two students used a machine - a 3D printer.

The students were in a competition in Qatar.

The competition was for business ideas.

The winners were Mohammad Annan and Lujain Al Mansoori.

They won $6,800.

They used special technology.

Making food with 3D printers isn't new.

But these scientists used ultraviolet (UV) light.

This makes the process quick.

The students worked in a laboratory.

First, they developed the vegetable cells.

The cells are the printer's 'ink'.

They put the ink into the printer.

Then, the machine builds the cells into a carrot.

These carrots are cheap too.

They cost less than normal carrots.

Qatar is a desert.

Without rain, the country has to buy fresh food.

Printing food might help.

And, for poor countries, it could be the answer.
