24. Will do. I only also just recently heard about it
even though it was discovered back in the 60s or so. And of course, there are genetic engineering experiments going on where they insert the miraculin gene into other produce.

I suspect it's going to make things cloyingly sweet, but who knows. The downside is that it makes acidic foods taste very sweet and so people can accidentally eat too much acid which is really bad for the teeth.

But yeah, should be interesting.
