    6: Pink Tomatoes & Petite Peppers: Innovating for Taste and Nutrition

    What did you last eat? And why? Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone. After all, it’s not entirely up to you. The food that ends up on our plate is the result of global trade dynamics, cultural norms, seasonality, marketing, thousands of years of plant breeding, and personal tastes. And it’s all constantly changing. In this episode, we discover how nutrition evolves over time, and how crop science keeps up.
