This week we hear from scientist Michael Mazourek, who’s designing new vegetables as a seed breeder with Row 7 Seed Company. He’s doing something radical with our food--he’s making it taste better! He is an actual kale raiser--as in, he breeds the seeds that grow vegetables! It all started with a challenge from chef Dan Barber to build a better butternut squash. The result is the delicious and widely available honeynut squash!
