Gastronuts - Series 1 - How Do We Turn Food Into Energy?

Food fanatic Stefan Gates and his intrepid Gastronuts go on wild culinary adventures to discover the truth about how we eat, what we eat and where it comes from. We often hear food described as a fuel, but how does that really work? The Gastronuts find out by burning jelly babies, powering a radio with potatoes and cooking lunch at the heart of Britain's biggest compost heap.
