      I haven’t heard of this, but is it fruit that can be grown in a lab rather than from plants? With the population of the world ever increasing, we need a lot of food science developments to increase how much we can product for everyone. Learning how precisely a fruit would grow, and how we can get more or bigger ones from a plant will increase the efficiency of our limited farmland.
