UK researchers are developing peas that don't taste like peas as an environmentally friendly alternative to soya.
The project is part of a government scheme that links up industry with academic researchers to produce new projects with a benefit to society. It is among a number of research programmes announced by the government on Wednesday aimed at boosting food production while reducing greenhouse gas emissions."We have an unsustainable habit for soya and we need to try and break that habit," said the firm's UK managing director, Paul Billings.
Prof Claire Domoney was a young researcher at the John Innes Centre in the 1990s as part of a team that made the initial flavour breakthrough. "He said 'this isn't going anywhere, because we end up with fresh peas with no flavour whatsoever!'" she explained.
