But wouldn’t that change the flavor? You wouldn’t get the authentic experience that way.
My chemistry prof would repeat over and over that “bitter is poison”. Bitter is one of my favorite flavor types, after spicy. If I lived before the internet I totally would have died after eating a tasty salad of poison xD
Dose makes the poison. Most bitter flavors (that you eat) aren’t really meant to discourage you from eating them, it’s really meant for insects.
Plant: I will make an unappetizing flavor to prevent myself from getting eaten
Humans: finally, some good fucking food
Almonds over here telling everyone that the poison plant is totally fine and tasty! xD
I agree though bitter is part of the spice of life and a very good flavor

I think we already have that, it’s called grass
Why can’t they use genetic engineering to make a tree that can absorb like 100x more CO2 than any other tree? Like, are they even trying?
Because the tree would need to grow 100x as big. People often forget, that the carbon needs to go somewhere and in a tree that is mostly the wood.
A fully grown forest is just full and can’t take up more CO2 unless you take some wood out. That wood need to be used in construction or turned into charcoal and buried to make sure it can’t be turned back into CO2 by rotting.
