We know Raleigh, NC research firm ELO Life is on track to save our bananas. But the company does a lot more than that. There are a lot of naturally occurring things that aren’t produced in large enough quantities to be of much benefit to us – flavorings, nutraceuticals, sweeteners. If someone could find ways to produce those in greater abundance without harming the variety, the applications would be endless.
So that’s what ELO does. Up next after the banana miracle they’re working on a natural, healthier sweetener, much like monk fruit. But that’s a hard crop to grow and only thrives in limited regions… so ELO is teaching watermelons to make the same thing.
It’s mind-blowing stuff. And none of it’s GMO.
