“What fruit are we currently being inconvenienced by, that can be engineered into something better?”
“It took thousands of years from when humans first started growing bananas to getting seedless ones but that’s mostly because we were still figuring out agriculture at the time. If we wanted to do it again today it would only take a decade or two.”
“Wild bananas are small, full of seeds and not much flesh, and apparently bitter tasting to boot.
Im still intrigued why anyone looked at them and decided to take the time and trouble of cross breeding them into domesticated bananas.”
