Scientists have used CRISPR technology to edit mustard greens and alter their flavor. It could be the first edited food to hit U.S. stores.

This unique pattern has been named “salmiak,” after a type of Finnish candy.

The latest findings suggest that between 1% to 4% of our genetic material is inherited from Neanderthals.
