Gene-edited bananas that retain their colour after peeling could soon be sold in UK supermarkets.
Gene-edited bananas that stay yellow and fresh-looking after peeling could soon reach UK supermarkets, according to Tropic, a Norwich-based agricultural-biotechnology company. The fruit has the same taste and texture as conventional bananas but resists browning, potentially reducing food waste and making it easier to add banana to prepackaged food products.
