Arctic Apples are coming out in stores this fall. These apples are genetically engineered not to turn brown when sliced or juiced. At the SynBioBeta conference in San Francisco, Karl Haro von Mogel sat down with Neal Carter, President of Okanagan Specialty Fruits, which created the apple. Karl asked him questions about what customers thought about their new apples, where people can find them, the new varieties of Arctic Apples being developed, and if they are working on a non-browning avocado. In this extended interview you’ll also hear about interactions between Genotype and Environment, licensing of apple varieties, and whether we might also see Arctic Apples in McDonalds!
